Feel like I am learning a new language

and I have never been good at that!

I have been on MFP for a while, but was confused, so I quit until last week. Also in my quest for pain release and health, I gave up my PCP and a crapload of medicine, got myself an alternative medicine doctor, an UP, food health coach and personal trainer. I have come far in a short time, but have a ways to go.

I can't figure out UP to MFP synching for the life of me! The only synching I get is when I take off the bracelet and stick it in my phone. I even got a Bluetooth, thinking that was what was needed, but I can't figure out the Bluetooth works. Sigh.

I have read so many of the posts here, but they all seem to assume you know the basics, I didn't even have a cell until late last year when my son-in-law realized it and was appalled and put me on their plan

Any stupid-layman-talking technical help would be so appreciated.

I am also looking for team members on the UP (because my bracelet tells me too) and I could use some MFP friends.

My email address is lindasusancohen@gmail.com and my MFP name is zarabeth.

Thank you for any and all help and hope to meet some new friends.

Well done on your journey so far!

You don't need bluetooth for the UP, it Syncs with the App on your phone by plugging it into the headphone jack. A simple solution.

Once you have your UP talking to your phone and you can see sleep and steps details then you are ready to link your UP account to your MFP account.

(best done on a computer) Goto https://www.myfitnesspal.com/apps/show/97 and then click on the "connect accounts" link which is located under the big green buy button.

This should take you to a page asking you for the email address and password you entered on the UP app when you first got started. Afterwards it will ask if it is alright for MFP to share data - say YES.

Next time you sync your UP with your phone you should also see the food details from MFP in the UP app.

Finally, go back to the MFP site and then click "My Home" then "Settings" then "Diary Settings." Check the box for "Enable Negative Adjustments" then click "Save Changes."

You're done.

You'll see details in the UP app from MFP, and in MFP under exercise you'll see and UP adjustment - which depending on how active you are will give you extra calories for the day or take them away.

You should sync your UP with your phone 2 or 3 times a day.

Hope this helps.

Thank you. As soon as I get near my computer I will try. At least I understand your directions. Hope I can figure it out. Know anyone who can use a bluetpoth?

Bluetooth, never text and ride.

RT, thank you so much. I followed your instructions exactly and although everything said okay, nothing happened. Well I figured I would never get it. BUT, I was showing my UP to my daughter and she was comparing it to her fitbit, when she asked me why I didn't add MFP app in the UP app. Didn't even know I had to do that. As soon as I registered it through the UP, I tried to synch and Voila! my UP and MFP are friends.
