GC and MFP weight sync?
Does GC and MFP sync your weigh-in's back and forth? I've only been using both for a little over 15 day now and I noticed that when I entered my weigh into GC it didn't sync. Are they supposed to sync or do I need to do something to make them sync or do I just enter into both? Any insight/help is much appreciated. Thanks,…

HRM issues
Hi guys, Just a quick question... After using my HRM and vivofit, I seem to get these 5-10 sec gaps of 0bpm for the HR when I look back at the data I've collected (on the graph for HR). Is this a common thing? Is this a sign of something wrong? Over a course of 30-40 mins of exercise it happens about 6-7 times. It's…

Do I need to log a run on MYP?
Hi, I have the Garmin connect with HR monitor. I was wondering if it was best to wear the watch when exercising because it adds steps to my count and I'm concerned about duplicate calorie burns making me feel as though I can eat more, because I also add calories burned via the HRM which shows on MFP. However because the…

Android User (Vivofit) - Sync between MFP & GC
Probably there are other posts about this. Here is the deal. When Garmin and MFP FIRST started talking a few months ago, for a VERY FEW Days (Week tops) everythign worked perfectly for myself and i was Over the Moon happy...Then an update happened and it hasn't worked right since. I have tried everything - deleting the…

How much weight have you lost since getting your Vivofit?
Since getting my Vivofit in late May and first using it in earnest in June by entering the weekly Challenge, I've shed 6.5 pounds. I still have about 20 pounds to go. How much have you lost since you bought your Vivofit?

Scroll down on this link and you can see the new product. http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2014/09/tuesday-edition-vivokeeper.html I've had an email from Garmin about the…

New to Vivofit
Hello everyone! Just got my Vivofit Monday and so far love it except for the fact it won't sync with my phone or tablet. I don't use the heart-rate monitor, use it to track my sleep so I can improve that and track my calories burned through stepping. Would love to have some Vivofit MFP friends and Connect friends. My…

Double counting
I can't figure out how to put workouts to my vivofit - I add them, choose send to device, but it says it's either not supported or isn't connected - it's definitely connected so I have to assume that feature is not supported. What I am curious about is... I have my goal steps, great and I understand how those steps and the…

The new Garmin Vivosmart?
Is anyone in this group considering a future upgrade to the Garmin Vivosmart? I was considering it for future purchase, but there seems to be so many software issues with Garmin Connect, MFP, and the Vivofit that I think I'll hold off a bit and just stick with my Vivofit for now. Anyone have any news regarding software…

Daily calorie goal
What I find bizarre is that Garmin Vivofit adjusts my calorie goal for the day on MFP according to my energy expenditure that is estimated. But it doesn't seem to do the same on Garmin Connect. It stays at my original goal that was set on MFP. Is this a real discrepancy, or am I just having issues?

Forerunner 305, vivofit and hate rate strap
Hi, I have forerunner 305 and a vivofit from some time. Today, finally, I pair both (before my exercise) with my chest heart rate monitor. When I finished, both devices showed me different calories burned. Forerunner = 190, and vivofit=370. So, is it normal? don't they have to be the same number? which one is more…

Connect no longer syncs with MFP
Ever since yesterday afternoon, Garmin Connect and MFP have not be talking to each...for me anyhow. I disconnected on Connect and reconnected and still nothing. It's also never reported the calories consumed properly on Connect but at least it was syncing the activity with MFP, now nothing. Anyone else?

Challenges
I had a quick question regarding challenges, I have only had my vivofit for 12 and a bit days so have been in 2 challenges. On the 0 step challenge I got around 58k so I thought that is why I moved to the 70k challenge for my second week. I smashed that trying to stay at the top of my week’s leader board and finished with…

How to change synced activities names in MFP?
Hello! I was wondering if anyone knew how to change an activity name that syncs from Garmin Connect in myfitnesspal. It just randomly chooses an exercise like walking, running, aerobics etc instead of using the custom name I put in GC.

Looking for Vivofit Connections
Would anyone like to connect with Vivofit? I really like it but I have only one connection. That was someone that asked me and I accepted. Although the gentleman that asked to connect is in Europe and I am in the USA we challenged and encouraged each other for about four or five weeks but he has not synced since around the…

Calorie Adjustment + HRM Confusion
What exactly is Garmin Connect Calorie Adjustment? Last week when I synced after using my HRM during my workout it would show up under Activities in GC and on MFP it would show up just like a regular workout (posts update with calories burned/time, etc) Now, my last few workouts haven't been showing up at all in GC…

Help! - HRM/Activity Question
So far I have only worn the HRM once when I went for a ZombiesRun 5k walk/jog session and that ties in roughly with the timeframe that Garmin Connect has allocated me an activity. My concern is that the GPS on my phone logged my run at 2.41 miles with an average pace of 13:50 min/mile and looking at my vivofit it was…

Garmin Calorie Adjustment
Hi guys, this may seem like a stupid question but I would really like it if someone could help me on it as I've just confused myself by thinking about it for too long.. For the calorie adjustment it adds to MFP, are those calories that are supposed to be eaten back? What I sort of got from reading some bits and pieces were…

swimming in your Vivofit
One of the reasons I bought the Vivofit is that I can swim with it. It's waterproof (I hope) and should log my swimming calories burned. Anyone have any experience using this with swimming? How does it do? Does the waterproof work well? I'm not talking deep diving, just swimming. Thanks for any info!

Garmin connected to MFP
Suddenly on the dashboard today I got the option to connect to MFP, which I ecstatically accepted. Garmin magically connected without even asking my username or password :huh: , but I had mfp open in another window, so maybe it took from there. Anyway, I'm very happy even though it's not totally working correctly yet.…

HRM, Vivofit, Calories not correct, too high and not stable
Is anyone having problems with their calorie count when using the HRM? I was doing 30 day shred, and was averaging about 300 cal burned. 200-385, and now L2 today came up 400. And then I was also walking to and from my parents house(2miles each way), going and coming, one day I had 294 going 32:00 and 573 back 43:00. Then…

Question about the vivofit :)
Hi :) I currently use fitbit but thinking about changing to vivofit since I have a forerunner 620 and I think it would be Nice to have all my data in one place. so my question is : when I go for a run with my forerunner with hrm, should I take the vivofit off ? I'm worried the calories will be calculated wrong here on mfp…

Adding other activities to Garmin Connect
I just went into GC and looked at my "Sports" tab and found that there is an area to add other activities not captured by a Garmin device. Yay!...but i can't get it to work at present. I am really excited about this and I did write to them not long ago about this. When it works I can use my Polar products for some…

Vivofit, HRM and Time
Ok, so I have been using my vivofit for 5 days and love it. I do have some challenges though: 1) When MFP pulls over my garmin data it doesn't pull over the time. As I have an MFP goal do so much exercise per day/week - it appears my option is to try and create a 0 calorie exercise with the time in order to do that - is…
