can weight watchers points be tracked

[Dogtrainer]

Just started using fitbit. Trying to figure out how to get most on features. I am also doing weight watchers... is there a way to count points in place of calories?

Not that I've seen, but I heard from Weight Watchers that integrating the two could be coming soon.  I'm also on Weight Watchers.

@danajoy If you want to track your Steps at WW then go to the AP tracker scroll to the bottom and there is a place to add steps

When I started using Fitbit I stopped tracking points and started using My Fitness Pal instead.

MFP syncs with Fitbit and you can set it up to match your WW goals. 

I've actually lost more weight using it than when I was tracking just points. The initial few days were a little difficult, but now it's much easier to use.

If you measure your stride length, you can use WW etools to change your fitbit strides into Activity Points.

Go to Track Activity.  At the very bottom, it says Quick Add.  Next to that is the tab for Add Steps.  Click on Add Steps and you can enter your steps.  You do have to measure your stride length initially for etools to calculate your Activity Points.

I use my fitbit graph to figure out which steps were actually part of my workout or my activity.  I total up all the yellow and green bars and then enter those as my steps.

You can track the steps in weight watchers you just have to do it on the computer in your activity log.

I use MyFitnessPal also, but I just started Weight Watchers. So if you're not tracking points, what are you tracking for WW? I've been tracking my food and then at the end of the day calculating the points. Is there a better way to do this? I'm only on week 4 of WW but I have lost a couple of pounds.

Hey Rily,
I have a few questions are you using the stools or the iPhone app for th ww? If you are using these I am tracking my food through ww and all of that like normal, but if you go on line and use the e tools you can go in track your steps that the fitbit tracks and get activity points for them.

I learned this later on one of the WW forums.  You can change your Fitbit calories into points.  80 or 100 calories is equal to one Activity Point.  That means you don't have to use etools on a computer to track steps.  Instead, just take the change in calories before and after you work out.  Divide that number by 80 or 100 and that should give you your activity points.
