HELP!!! jawbone, fitness pal sync issues?

kufahlaatc123

I am REALLY HATING my jawbone and fitness pal sync. It keeps adding my activities to calories I eat instead of subtracting them, causing it look like I'm over for the day. Other times it wont even sync at all. Am I doing something wrong or is it the systems not communicating right with each other? Help cause I'm about ready to give up.

MFP has a Jawbone UP Bracelet group: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/13420-jawbone-up-bracelet

Do not log any step-based activity. Your UP is already tracking it for you.

Log non-step exercise (like biking or swimming) in UP—never MFP.

Enable negative calorie adjustments: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/diary_settings

Set your activity level to sedentary: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/change_goals_guided & set your goal to .5 lb. per week for each 25 lbs. you need to lose.

Follow your MFP goal, eating back your UP adjustments.

Your UP total burn is your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure). If you follow my instructions you'll be eating at TDEE minus an appropriate deficit. I lost the weight & have maintained for 6 months using these settings.
