Steps manually logged troubleshooting

[MChristinaDB]

Yesterday I forgot to wear my Fitbit Alta, so I manually logged my steps based on my activity. How do I add those steps into my weekly total of steps? My manually added steps are not being included in the total steps ranking amongst my friends. Please help, thanks!

@MChristinaDB, Welcome to the family!  When you manually log activities, they will not be included on your total steps ranking, only if activities recorded directly from your tracker. 

Let me know if you have more questions! 🙂

Hello. Will you please share the steps you used to manually enter steps into your Alta?

Will you please enter the steps you used to manually enter your steps?

Hey my friend @angelurvian, I'm glad to see you around!  Typically, your steps will be recalculated if you manually log an activity as the manually logged activity takes precedence over the steps you tracked while wearing your tracker at that point in time. For example, if I am wearing my Fitbit and walking and I reach 10,000 steps, then I go to the computer and manually log an activity that starts and ends at that point in time for say 1 hour, Fitbit will calculate how many steps you took and it may bring my step count to something below 10,000 steps. To clarify, activities should only be manually logged when you forget to wear your Fitbit. 

If this doesn't cover your question, please let me know so I can give you an extra hand!
