    It is a good tool. Others also have their plusses and minuses.

    I've found that if you patiently let it do its thing eventually it synchronizes. The longest delay for me so far this round has been 15 hours.

    Sorry missed the post above, but it appears we have same issue. Reliability like this will drive me away from MFP very quickly...

    Don't let a fitbit issue do that. I would recommend eating to your target and then looking at your fitbit to see how close you are to your general average in steps and adjust from there.

    Even if I gave up my fitness tracker, MFP is too good of a tool to not use. If you generally do 5000 steps per day and some cardio, go back and figure what that usually does to your calories and do the same thing. Do you have enough data to live with that? Even if you don't, you can still accurately track your intake - and your fitbit can give you a rough estimate of overall calories burned. Compare your data.

    MFP itself is still the best tool out there for tracking.

    Agreed. Just because they aren't talking right now doesn't mean it won't get caught up. When I first started using a tracker and MFP, it would frustrate me. My solution would be to log my exercise into MFP manually, and then delete it once they caught up.

    This exactly. I lost 40 pounds using only MFP before getting a Fitbit. Sometimes it's better to not over complicate things.

    I know when this fitbit dies Im going with something else. fitbits for me have been nothing but a PITA and plain junk. They replaced it ONE time,where others had theirs replaced many timed, some even got newer models. but it is what it is.

    My fitbit is still not syncing with mfp. I thought it was resolved. Apparently not.

    If it happens again, simply disconnect and then reconnect the FitBit app on the MFP website, that should remedy the issue.
