    I've been really slow to sync lately, but what is driving me crazy is that some nights my cals at FB and MFP don't agree with each other. MFP is set for -5 lbs, but adding back 250 cals should match up to FB, but it's not. Not only does FB take cals back (which I expect) but MFP does as well. I can go to bed in the green and wake up and find that the day before is now red. This is really screwing with my weekend calorie banking!

    It's normal to lose a few calories overnight (when sleeping, or even just being inactive in the evening). It's the same reason that you wake up with a negative Fitbit adjustment in the morning. I computed that I lose about 13.5 calories of Fitbit adjustment per hour when I'm asleep. The earlier you go to bed (or veg out in front of the TV) and the higher your MFP activity setting, the bigger the effect.

    I never noticed losing MFP cals before, just FB. Then again, I wasn't in maintenance so I had more cals to stay green overnight. Thanks!

    Is anybody not getting synchs from Fitbit today?

    Yup - some times my steps show, sometimes the adjustment shows with no steps and some times there's no adjustment.

    Do we think this is just a problem with the site right now? Happens from time to time. I'd rather not mess with uninstalling and reinstalling if I don't need to. So frustrating when this happens though.

    Mine was fine earlier and all of a sudden it says I've only earned 10 calories... even though I've walked over 17k steps! Hope it fixes soon it's almost bedtime here and I want to complete my day!

    Mine was showing an adjustment today but now it's taken it away, I've been for a run, and a 40 minute walk with the dog and done well over my 10k steps so no idea whats going on.

    Same here-- over 15k steps and it registered some of them this morning (when I was around 8k) but all of them just went away. I wish MFP would at least tell us what's up so us OCD folks don't have to panic!

    I'm having trouble with it again this evening, too. Step count on MFP has reset to zero and my Fitbit calorie adjustment has disappeared; I hope they'll sort it out soon.

    Now my MFP calorie adjustment is completely malfunctioning. It'll give me 300-500 calories and then take them away a minute later. This has happened multiple times. I know I'm due around 800-1000 extra calories (based on my similar day yesterday) so who knows what's up.

    It's completely broken right now. Fitbit has me correctly at ~850 calories burned this morning from a workout. On my computer, MFP has me at over 1800 calories burned from a workout this morning, so its counting the workout twice and not letting me delete the duplicate on the exercise page. My mobile MFP app has me at 0 extra calories from exercise so its not even showing what the website is showing.

    Fix your stuff MFP.

    This is very annoying. It's all over the place today. It was linking fine this morning but now MFP is showing some weird figure from Fitbit and has multiple entries in Exercise but is now only showing the last smaller amount in the app. It was showing nothing, then doubling it, now it's just showing the amount from the last tracker sync and not adding the whole day. Very irratating. Fitbit is also showing some odd entry in food so it's clearly not linking properly both ways. Urgh.

    I'm getting two adjustments and it won't let me delete the faulty one. It will only let me delete the one that is right! Arrgh! (Fortunately, I haven't been very active this afternoon, so the faulty one isn't too far off, but still... )

    Worked earlier today now fitbit isn't syncing.

    Does anybody know how we can get MFP to acknowledge this problem so we at least know it's being worked on? I hate emailing them-- I always have to go through a bunch of canned troubleshooting responses before I get an actual helpful person.

    Now I've got two adjustments and NEITHER one is right. (Actually, that's on the website, on my phone I've only got one incorrect adjustment - but it's very, very wrong.) The one that will show me the calculation has a wildly incorrect MyFitnessPal Calories Burned number. Sort of like when they had the step source bug, but my step source is correct and they say they've fixed that bug.

    My stats for today are pulling through, but it's giving me a 13 calorie adjustment for yesterday (vs 30,000 steps!)

    Today seems ok but yesterday is still completely wrong.

    Same thing. March 1 has three adjustments on web page. I could delete third one but not first two. Tried hitting the info icon on first two but got a 'sorry' message. Third one would come back after re-sync and info icon would work but still off due to first two FitBit adjustments. Phone just wildly wrong with only one (same as third web) adjustment.

    Today (March 2) looks OK so far.

    First time I've been hit with any bugs.

    Today looks okay so far, but yesterday is still messed up. Plus, when I try to look at things for yesterday I'm intermittently getting the "Site Temporarily Down for Maintenance" screen. I tried to add a 1 calorie cardio exercise to yesterday, to see if I could force a recalculation, but it didn't fix it.

    I did post a message about it in the help section last night. I don't know if it got their attention.

    It's stopped syncing for me now since this morning. Hopefully it's because they're fixing it. The incorrect tally for yesterday is really bugging me.
