fitbit badges and achievements?

[kmsorrels10]

I am logging all of my stuff (food, exercise etc) on myfitnesspal, can I still get the badges and achievements on here? Can I also challenge friends as well?

You can get the step, distance, stairs award tiles so long as you have set up MFP to connect to fitbit, the setting for that is in APPS section across the top of the MFP home page. I log my food over there, and my activity over here, they work together pretty well. Be aware though that MFP is basing your calorie intake with a built in calorie deficit for weight loss and whatever activity level you set and allows you your exercise calories on top of that. Fitbit is not reporting your exercise calories, it is reporting your TDEE numbers without a deficit calculated, so it will look like you are earning a lot more exercise calories than you are!

As for challenging friends, the only one I know of on here is the Move your @ss challenge group.

Hope this helps

Thanks! I am already using MFP and have been for about a week or so, I was going to do food there and exercise here and I might still do that but I need a little while to get used to this website and what my workout entails, mostly different 30 day challenges that I find on pinterest, walkng and some Just Dance.
