Fitbit + Weight Watchers?

[Valgal]

Does anyone use a Fitbit and do Weight Watchers together?  How easy/difficult is that?

Hey Valgal - I do "old school" weight watchers points.  I was on a plateau for a few weeks so I bought a fitbit to motivate me to move more.  I have been using the logs on the dashboard and I find that seeing my calorie intake and nutritional breakdown to be much more useful than weight watchers alone.  That having been said, I believe that there is a way to link fitbit with weight watchers.  If you do a google search you'll find an online community that does both.  Good Luck to you!

I do them both! I've been with WW since Sept 2013 and I just got my Fitbit Force for Christmas. I find it easy to do both. I just leave the food stuff to WW and activity part to fitbit.
I had also hit a plateau but I wasn't too worried bc it's the holidays and I told myself, at least I'm not gaining!!! Buy since Christmas and being so motivated by the fitbit I've left my plateau and will meet the goal I set for myself when I joined WW,a s long as I loose 1 more pound by tomorrow!

I have been a Weight Watcher's member since April 2011 and a lifetime member since April 2012. I got my Fitbit in November and have found that if anything it has really increase my motivation and helped to challenge my fitness level. It's easy to fall into a routine. I track my food like I normaly would with the points value in ETools and also my activity points and aim to get all my stats "green" in Fitbit. Since using it, I have pushed through my plateau.

with WW simple start its easy to track on Fitbit and follow WW, which is great because I love to see how my simple start food choice rack up on calories.

How do you enter the activity? When I try and do the steps I am not getting any points when I know I should be. Thanks!

Weight watchers has started selling fitbits now...did you notice that?  I think they are going to start to do away with their active links and move to fitbit.  That being said.... hopefully fitbit will be able to start to sync the food logs so I don't have to type them in twice.  that would be helpful!

I doubt WW will ever allow food logs to be synced. Points are totaly differnt than Calories.
