Fitbit Issues

About a week ago my fitbit just stopped talking to MFP on its own. Now I have to unlink it and link it back for MFP to subtract any fitbit calories at all. I have to do this everytime I want MFP to figure in FitBit calories. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled both my fitbit app and my MFP app and I still have this issue. Any advice?

    Hey, I know this is an old post, but did you ever get it figured out/fixed? I've been having the same problem for the last two weeks or so... And it's super annoying to have to unlink and relink it everyday.

    I guess I'm glad I'm not the only one having this problem. For about a month now, syncing has been inconsistent at best and nonexistent at worst. I'm really annoyed that I have to unlink and relink my account in order to get my calorie burn added. Don't understand why this keeps happening every few months.

    Try uninstall/reinstall the app on your phone if you are using the app/Bluetooth to sync.

    Yes, I have this same issue - the only way to get my FitBit exercise to update is to go through the linking / unlinking routine, otherwise there is no syncing. I appreciate the instructions above, but having to do that very thing several times a day is very, very annoying.
