fit bit syncing to weight watchers

[SunsetRunner]

Does anyone know how to sync fit bit flex to the weight watchers app

[SunsetRunner]

I was told that WW won't allow it to sync since in competition with their own tracker. That's why I started using MyFitnessPal instead. It syncs perfectly and is free to use.

It does sync now with weight watchers!  Log onto weightwatchers.com.

Then go to Account Settings, then Profile and preferences and then Activity Monitoring Devices and deactivate the activelink if you are using it and activate the fitbit.

It doesn't seem to be compatible yet with the UK version (weightwatches.co.uk); been attempting it all morning so exceptionally frustrated now! If anyone in the UK has managed this please share.

I just stumbled across something cool - you can now sync other fitness devices with Weight Watchers if you have etools. You do not have to have Active Link to use this feature.

Under account settings, profile and preferences, last link - Activity-monitoring devices. Right now in addition to Active Link, you can choose fitbit or jawbone! I have fitbit...and it works....but it has not synced in the last 20 hrs. How do you get a continuous sync?

how do you sync with weight watcher activity points?

[SunsetRunner]

I can't get my fit bit zip to sync with the weight watchers app.  It keeps showing no activity when I know I've done something

Hi there @bethstwo and @SunsetRunner 

I went ahead and moved your questions to this thread. It looks like @YogaRuth and @miamcm offered some helpful steps for doing this above! 

Happy stepping and integrating!

I'm also having trouble with the Fitbit Flex communicating with the weight watchers app. I've got them synced in Account Settings, but as of 9-20-14, it quit updating the points. And I've done over 10,000 steps+ activity per day. Any ideas why it quit working? I've emailed WW too, still waiting for a reply.

I'm having same issue...I've chosen fitbit as my device..but the sites don't seem to be talking to each other...

Until they get this figured out... I have decided to start using the WW activity monitor's ability to write in how many steps I took (according to my fitbit) into the WW activity tracker.  It will then convert to points.  May not be exact, but better than nothing.

My Fitbit quit synching to Weight Watchers on Wednesday, September 24. My WW app hasn't posted any activity since then.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thank you.

Mine also quit syncing with WW this past weekend.  It is a bit frustrating because it was the only reason why I went out to buy a Fitbit Flex.  It was really great and motivating when it worked.

I'm having the same problem.  It was syncing with WW, until this weekeend.  I even disconnected and reconnected my fitbit with my WW account.  It didn't help.  Any resolution to this?

[kimjj1025]

I did the same thing. I contacted weight watchers and I'm waiting for a
response.

[Mollie123]

I just tried that, but now the options are not available on the website to do anything. Page is blank where you got to activate your device. 

[JLGray]

I've had the same problem. I haven't been able to track activity for almost 2 weeks.  I called WW and they can't figure out what's wrong. I'll try calling them again. If I get a satisfactory reply, I'll post it here.

[SunsetRunner]

Any news since the last update? Reviews are going back up on the WW app so I am hoping things are getting better before I think about rejoining.

[kimjj1025]

I never heard back but my fitbit is syncing with weight watchers again.
Yeah!

[mogordon]

YEAH!!  The activity link they had sucked!
