Syncing fitbit with Noom

[KTweds56]

My Noom app says it will sync data with fitbit but I can't seem to figure it out. Does anybody use Noom and fitbit together and if so, how? Thanks

Tried that and it didn't help!  So frustrating!  Thanks for the idea!

Hi All,

I figured out something that works for me. Download the app called FitToFit, it's the same teal color as the Fitbit logo with a heart.

Now in your Noom settings, switch your Apps & Devices to 'Google Fit' instead of FitBit. If you have a Gmail, you already have it, you just need to allow the permissions to set it up. It should automatically direct you to your "Google Fit" page once you change the setting in Noom.

FitToFit is basically a middle layer application. It will transfer your FitBit data to your Google Fit. Google Fit is a supported app of Noom (yay).

To log your steps, you will need to go to your FitToFit app and "Transfer Data" for it to log it into Noom. I have mine set to AutoSync Enabled, but I don't know how frequently it does it. If that doesn't work, whenever you click the red "Transfer Data" button, it logs it into Noom.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for this, I have been trying for ages and this finally worked for me!

Hi!  I had this same problem and figured it out!  

1.  On your phone, go into your Fitbit app and refresh/sync.

2.  On your phone, close your Noom app, then reopen it.  

Your steps are now synced!  

You will have to repeat this process every time you want to sync the two, but it takes less than a minute to do.

Hi, mines the same, it was syncing but now it won’t. How did you manage to do your steps manually? 

Thanks Clare

Hi Clare,

If you open your Fitbit and sync, then close your Room app. Open your Room app and it should sync with Fitbit.

Every time you want to update, you will have to do the above. I found that it wouldn’t continually sync.

Good luck!

I've been using Noom and Fitbit together for a month, both running on a Motorola Android.  According to the internet, none of this stuff is meant to work together well, but I've been able to make it happen.

It took some doing to set it up, and it failed once and I had to re-do it.


Three pointers.

1.  The BT connection to the Fitbit has to be the only connection happening.  It was necessary to manually forget all of the other BT connections, and then re-connect with the Fitbit watch.

      This was necessary in order to get the Fitbit watch talking to the Fitbit ap on the Android.

After this, I was able to reconnect with the BT in the car, no problem, and everything worked.  But when I had to reinstall it,  I had to do the same.


2.  Once set up, it worked for about a month, then FitBit made a connection to some device I didn't recognize, and everything had to be redone.

3. In the Fitbit app settings, be sure to share "All" with the Noom Coach.

Anyway, seems to work well enough despite all the messages to the contrary.

Hi - I am trying to connect my FitBit with Noom and getting the following error: Error 403: disallowed_useragent

It says I can't sign in from this screen (in the app) because the app doesn't comply with Google's embedded webview policy. 

Anyone know of a workaround for this? 

Thanks!

Karen,  How did you manually adjust your steps in Noom?  I asked them and they instructed me to reconnect the fitbit, but it's not working yet.

Yes, that works. I was hoping to be selective about what I share with Noom. Any hope there?

Hello everybody, thank you for visiting the Fitbit Community.
