Is there a way to log the activity Walk but while I use weights? That is, if I am 170 pounds but carry a backpack with 20 pounds of bricks inside, I'm really walking a weight of 190 pounds. Is there a way to log that in the Fitbit app?

In a sense, the extra weight is already accounted for, in that it makes you work harder which raises your heart rate, and heart rate is a big factor in calculating calories burned.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
