Fitbit vs MyFitnessPal

I've recently discovered that it's not a good idea to link your Fitbit to MyFitnessPal as it throws out all the Fitbit data. I first noticed this when my Very Active Minutes weren't accurate and was even sent a new one before they told me that it was because they were showing up on MFP (which I hardly use any more as I'm at my goal weight). I've just gone through my Activities on Fitbit deleting all the MFP figures and at last I have a total mileage for the year since I've had my Fitbit, 2,890 miles, where it didn't show any before because they were all showing as from MFP.

No, I'd never heard of it and I don't need anything else now. I lost three stone (42 pounds/20 kilos) on the 5:2 Diet so I now just maintain by fasting one day a week (up to 500 calories) and running 5k three times a week.

I've just looked at Noom and I really can't see the point of it. I love my Fitbit and wear it 24/7 - I'm hardly likely to wear my phone, am I?!!!
