Good evening all. I got a Fitbit for my birthday today and was wondering how to sync it to here so it takes off the calories I have burnt? I have managed to sort my steps out. Thanks in advance

Connect your accounts at http://www.myfitnesspal.com/fitbit

Set your goal to .5 lb. for every 25 lbs. you're overweight: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/change_goals_guided

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

In the MFP app, go to More > Steps and choose Fitbit.

Ignore your Fitbit calorie goal and follow MFP's, eating back your adjustments. No need to log any step-based activity—your Fitbit is tracking it for you. Log non-step exercise (like swimming or biking) either in Fitbit or in MFP—never both. Exercise logged in MFP overwrites your Fitbit burn during that time.

You can learn more in the Fitbit Users group: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1290-fitbit-users

I cannot get mine to sync. I have followed the directions and it sends me a message that i have an account already. So then i disconnect this account from Fit bit (i cannot find a link to disconnect it from MFP) but it continues to tell me there is already an account. Forced a sync. Still nothing. ???

Delete both apps. Restart your device, and reinstall both apps. Then follow all the steps in the previous post.

If that doesn't fix the problem, contact MFP customer service.
