Syncing issues with Vivofit 2

I just got my Vivofit 2 with the HRM strap today and am having some issues with syncing. It took me forever to get the two linked and now that they are, my activity calories burned are showing different between the two. I wore the HRM for a workout which seems to have transferred to my calorie adjustment on MFP, but the Garmin app is giving me more activity calories burned and a higher calorie allowance for today. Does that make sense? Anyone have any insight?

    I just got mine this week...I agree, It took FOREVER to get synced up. But now I'm having trouble syncing it to MFP. Do you sync to the garmin app and then it automatically transfers to MFP or is there something I need to do to have it log into MFP?

    Thanks for any help!

    If you go to Garmin Connect Mobile->Settings->3rd Party Apps, do you see MyFitnessPal in there? It should sync automatically (may take a few minutes)
