Weight Watchers, Fit Bit & Orange Theory

[cinagy]

I sync my weight watchers app with Fitbit to get Smart Points.  I also do Orange Theory, which I manually enter into my fitbit because I have found that the Fitbit auto recognize doesn't recognize this activity fully due to the combined tread, rowing & weights and the HR monitor that I wear at OTF (an OTF product) shows a significantly higher number of calories burned.  I would use the stopwatch feature on fitbit to record the time, but I have found I can't alter the calories burned, so I have to manually enter the exercise.

When I manually enter my OTF workout into Fitbit, it automatically syncs with Weight Watchers.  Great.  Except that it reads my steps walked and the exercise manually entered and gives me an obscence amount of Smartpoints...almost as if I'm getting double credit.

My Question(s):

A.  Am I doing something wrong with my settings?

B.  Is there a way to edit the calories burned on my fitbit autorecognized activity so I could just use the stopwatch feature?

This is somewhat of a long-winded question.  My apologies!

Its because you are recording the activity and then manually entering it. You do one or the other not both

you are entering it twice by doing so

I also find that the fitbit doesn't recognize the rowing or weight portion of Orange Theory, driving my stats down showing I'm not exercising enough days during the week, when I do this 3-4x per week. How do I get the fitbit to recognize the whole class?

The auto does not seem to recognize the work out.
