Fitbit and Lose-it require premium subscription

[BHenn]

As of the latest update, it appears that Lose-It now requires you to upgrade to premium to synch the two apps, can someone confirm. Mine no longer works.

Having the same issue over past 2 days. Lose it website has the fitbit application listed under the "upgrade to premium" banner. Appears Premium is now required to synch with fitbit

I changed to MyFitnessPal and will not be using Lose-it anymore.

Hi there @BHenn and @clydo79, welcome aboard to the Fitbit Community. I was reading your concerns and indeed, based on the information we have about the integration with Lose It, the user must be a Premium LoseIt subscriber in order to integrate this service with Fitbit.

Months ago, I had a conversation about the same topic with a different user, he mentioned it was free to use and many other users confirm the same information. I believed it was changed back as it was originally offered. For more details the best to do is to contact LoseIt support to learn more about this change.

From our end's the information has not changed as I can confirm is require to have a premium subscription.

See you later and let me know if you have more questions.

Ever since I started using Lose-it years ago synch has always been
available with their free app. They made the change to premium as of
September 1, 2017. Gave me some reason that did not make sense to me.
Anyway I started using MyFitnessPal as of 9/1/2017 and it works fine, will
not use Lose-it anymore.

Here is the message I received from LoseIt.

"LoseIt will not be changing back to their previous model. This was a long-debated process, and LoseIt announced it about 6 weeks ago."

I have now changed to MyFitnessPal which is actually a better app as I use
it. Hopefully they will continue to synch with Fitbit in their free app as
they do now. As a senior citizen on fixed income I appreciate all the
benefits provided to help.

Do have to have a fitbit premium account to sync it with my fitness pal?

[BHenn]

Yes, you have to have a premium account. When they did that I switched from
Lose-it to MyFitnessPal who does not require you to have a premium account.

[ElBeardo44]

What I mean is do you have to have a Fitbit premium subscription for my fitness pal to transfer the data?

[BHenn]

No
