My Body Media and MFP are talking to each other, but only about calories burned/exercise. The food I put in MFP is not syncing with my Body Media.

Help???

Happy Friday!

    Mine is not syncing either. Hopefully it is just a glitch and will fix itself soon!

    Have you tried going to the body media fit page and disconnecting it from MyFitnessPal and then reconnecting it? Mine syncs everyday, no problem.

    This just started happening to me as well. Tried unlinking and re-linking - any other suggestions?

    Mine has been doing this too. I just went and relinked them and while it seems to have fixed it for now, it wasn't retroactive. MFP was getting info from BM but not the other way around.

    Is this still occurring? I'm having this issue (MFP food entries not syncing with Body Media) as well.

    Not sure if this is still affecting anyone else (I'm still experiencing the issue) but what I noticed is that if I Unlink and then relink, it gets the MFP Food Diary data for the present day (doesn't update past days) but will not update to reflect any changes thereafter.

    Yes, still have the problem here - since 11/2. Checked the Help topics & MFP's last update was 11/10 am that it is still being worked on.......

    I'm having the same issue. Really peeved because it took Body Media 5 weeks to deliver my arm band and then it only worked properly for about two weeks... Not as helpful to me if this part isn't syncing. Can anyone say if this is a MFP issue or a BM issue? Not sure who to ask for help!

    Mine started working after I unlinked and relinked today. I hope it is finally fixed now.

    Actually it only works if you keep unlinking and relinking. That is something I'm not about to do every 2 hours.

    Now bodymedia exercise stopped syncing again as of 11/15. Would really like to see some kind of response, very frustrating

    Yup, now the exercise and food stopped syncing. WTF?

    Same thing here. It started just not importing the food from MFP into my Bodymedia (no biggie) but now it isn't bringing my exercise calories into MFP (HUGE deal). I have to unlink and relink accounts EVERY time to get it to read it. PITA.

    Bodymedia tells me the problem is with mfp. Mfp just say we will look into this. It has been two weeks now, it would be nice to get a real response from mfp. The issue us getting worse, not better.

    So mine synced twice today, loading up most of my daily calories...but it won't sync previous days, and it stopped syncing today's calories, making it incorrect.


    I've asked for an exchange for a discounted Up3, but if the software for it is as flaky as the Bodymedia software, I think I'd rather have something less accurate, but more reliable and less frustrating.

    It's gotten worse now. I've found that unless you completely disconnect and reconnect, it won't upload to Bodymedia and Bodymedia isn't loading to MFP. What's going on?

    This has been my experience off and on for the past few months, and is why Bodymedia has refunded several months of my service fee. I'm not consistently getting the service.

    Please write to them. Demand that they refund at least one to three months of your service fee, and ask them to provide a discount to trade up to the Up3 since they are unable to provide satisfactory service with the Bodymedia. If enough of us complain and make this demand, they might do something about it.

    I had the same issue also today, so I just disconnected it from the bodymedia website and then linked it again and everything seems to be working now. Not sure if it's a glitch or what but I never noticed that my food wasn't syncing until today :/

    I've unlinked and relinked the apps repeatedly, flashed the firmware on the actual armband unit, and deleted and redownloaded the app several times. It will work for one week, or one day, or just one sync, and then stop again. When I contact Bodymedia, they say they are aware of the issues and working on them.

    I am having the same issues. Would really like it resolved. Currently doing calorie adjustments manually in exercise section. Just kind of annoying.

    Mine is acting up again but I eat the same amount of cals (2000 cals) every day no matter how much I burn.

    Sent MFP an email. There are a couple threads about the syncing. Will update as soon as I hear back. :neutral_face:
