How to manage your account in Fitbit for iPhone and iPad

Your Fitbit account is the linchpin of your entire Fitbit experience. Your personal profile info — height, weight, gender, and age — is what uses Fitbit to determine all of it's calories burned data and weight loss rate predictions.

Meanwhile, your personal goals like steps per day, distance traveled, active minutes, and floors climbed keep you working towards tangible numbers that show you the progress you are making over time. It's important to know how to customize these options in order to get the best results from your Fitbit.
