Fitbit & MyFitnessPal

[slweller]

Is there a trick to sync up fitbit with myfitnesspal???? I have followed all the steps(or so I think) and still have not had the two sync up. Can someone help???

I had it syncing earlier today, but since the servers went down earlier, they are not talking to each other.  Anyone know if this is my issue or an issue with Fitbit?

I'm having the same issue. Since the server went dowen neither program is speaking to each other or are not syncing up quickly enough to be of any use. Used to get real time updates to both programs.

I followed the instructions and disconnected and then reconnected the apps last night. That worked, but now it's not working again this morning.

I'm experiencing the same issue. I believe the issue resides on fitbit's side. Simply due to the fact that it worked fine before the downtime lastnight.

I am not so sure that is correct. Mine is syncing just fine. I entered my food in MFP and it sync'd within minutes. You might want to check over in the forums at MFP to see if others are having this problem. When I used to have a Jawbone Up connected to MFP there were times when the sync was just sitting for hours (sometimes days) in a queue at MFP until someone brought it to their attention.

My calories from MFP are loading to fitbit. However,my step count is not uploading to MFP.

Are you looking here and changing the default to Fitbit steps?

Hi, I have been having the same issue with MFP and FitBit since the FitBit server went down on Monday, June 16.  It seems that sending MFP data to the FitBit Dashboard is fine but FitBit data to MFP Dashboard is broken.

Does anyone from FitBit read these posts?  How can I connect with someone at FitBit?  I cannot seem to find any way to communicate with FitBit support.

I'm having the same problems.  My FitBit data is no longer syncing with MFP.  

[Wolfidy]

Having this problem days later.  Has anyone found a fix?

[yarsmith]

I just started having an issue with it again tonight.

[dj49]

Well, I'm done with MFP!  I'm now logging everything (meals, etc) on FitBit.  Tired of canned responses from MFP.

First be sure to sync your fitbit with the phone by passing synchronize in the app.then open the MFP app, select the main menu by pressing the bars in the left on the screen, then select the last icon and wait until it stop.

I have been having this problem for a little over 2 weeks, SCisaacs. Very frustrating!

[thecharmed1]

If only it was that simple, Keta. Tried every suggestion going.

[aabean]

It's plain broke. I ousted over on the MFP board and got the response MFP's "developers are working on it". Sounds like bs to me. Another of their posts say it's fixed. Is like to know if anyone has this working at all, website or app.

[yarsmith]

I got it working again after several times of unlinking and relinking the apps. My problem now is that my fitbit stopped working after only 2 weeks.

[karlasproul]

having same problems as everyone else. I think I updated MFP the other day and it hasn't synced since. Any solutions from anyone?
