Using the FitBit Versa and app with Lose It! App

[Marcus777]

I’ve been using the Lose It! App for quite awhile and recently got my Versa. I know Lose It will link to FitBit if I upgrade to premium and I’m wondering if there is any real benefit to doing this or could it potentially cause some inaccuracies in either app by doing so. Has anyone done this or have any feedback about this? Thanks.

@Marcus777 Welcome! Thanks for being part of our Community! I don't think there will be inaccuracies. What the integration will link is the calories burned during exercises tracked with your Versa, weight logs from your Fitbit Aria scale (if you own one) and the food calories logged on LooseIt! will be transferred to your Fitbit account according to the partnership page:

"Use your total calories burned as recorded by Fitbit to calculate an exercise bonus in Lose It!. Meals logged in Lose It! will sync to your Fitbit account, and weight stats recorded on your Fitbit Aria will sync to your Lose It! account."

I really hope LooseIt! and Fitbit are working fine for you but if you don't want to pay for the integration I would like to suggest you try MyFitnessPal so you can see how an integration between the two apps work without needing to pay a subscription. I mention this app as I have heard great reviews from other members so you may want to consider it.

Hopefully other LooseIt! users may also share their experiences here.

Let me know how it goes!

@Marcus777 happy to help! Did you try the integration with LoseIt! or did you try the free MyFitnessPal? What was your experience with the integration? Are you happy with how things work with these apps? 

I look forward to your reply!

I went for the premium LoseIt! Option. It seems to be integrating well. At first I wasn’t sure about adding exercise routines in LoseIt because it seemed that it didn’t automatically transfer over from Fitbit to LoseIt but I think I have it down now that if I do an exercise routine Fitbit is sending info to LoseIt and I’m earning calories without having to add an exercise routine manually to LoseIt! So I think this is working unless I’m missing something else. Thanks.

@Marcus777 thank you for sharing your experience with the LoseIt! integration! I do appreciate this as it helps other users who may want to try the app with their Fitbit account.

I'll be around!

Hello,

New to the forums and just got my versa a week ago. I also have a LoseIt membership (premium) and although it is synced (LoseIt shows the steps from the Versa), my food log does not seem to sync over the FitBit.

Anything that I may be missing?

[Marcus777]

Hmm, not sure why food log not transferring to Fitbit. Go to LoseIt >Me>More>Apps & Devices>Fitbit and make sure Food (allow Fitbit to read data) is turned on.

@lfnla14 Welcome! It's nice to have you on board! Sorry to hear that your LoseIt! food logs aren't syncing with Fitbit. Did you try the suggestions @Marcus777 shared with you? I ask because as I previously explain this information may be helpful to other members.

I look forward to your reply!

Thank you for posting this conversation.

I'm a brand new Versa user. I've got Lose It! Premium and want to continue to log my food within Lose It! I was able to sync my food tracker from Lose It to my Versa -- I am so glad I don't have to change the way I'm logging my food.
