Question

Question for those of you with a Fitbit synced to the WW app. If you log a walk on the Fitbit app (to use the GPS), does the WW app count that and also your daily steps? I got 11 FitPoints for a 51 minute walk and also 4 points for my daily step count. That seems like a lot. Is the WW app counting everything twice? Thanks

Answer 1

This is how it works for me as well. If I go about my normal day and get 10, 000 steps it gives me a certain number of points. If on another day, part of those 10, 000 steps were earned from taking a 20 minute or longer walk, I don’t receive as many points for the 10, 000 steps but I do receive “bonus” points for the walk. I believe it’s because on a walk/run your heart rate goes up and you are burning more calories during that time.
