Why does weight from FITBIT not sync over?

I normally log my weight into FitBit, and usually this comes right over into MFB. But there have been a few days where the sync never happens and I have to log the weight directly into MFP. Today is one of those days. Anyone know why this happens? Is there a way to "force" a sync somehow?

    Is other data syncing between MFP and Fitbit, but not weight? I've never had an issue w/ my weight not carrying over. I have the Fitbit scale so its automatic. Sometimes there will be an issue between the two, where MFP is temporarily unable to get any data from Fitbit, but I've never had partial data. And it generally resolves itself.

    Plus one for the fitbit Aria wi-fi scale. I don't log anything, it does it for me.

    MFP was having a bunch of issues this morning (see @StaciMarie1974's comment about data not loading) so that may be why

    Yes the exercise calories from steps are showing, but the weight I logged is not. Really weird. And this has happened several times before. I always have to end up manually logging the weight into MFP (if I want to see it there).
