Issue with Fitbit sync to MFP

I know over the weekend MFP was doing something having to do with the fitness trackers so I didn't pay too much attention. However, now my exercise calories are WAY WAY off. For example, it said I had 547 steps and was subtracting the calories from exercise as 5833! I was waiting a while to see if MFP was still having issues, but it's now Wednesday and it is throwing off everything. Anyone else having/had this issue or know how to fix it?

    Yes! While mine isn't subtracting calories, it's not calculating my steps to calories correctly and not updating my steps. Very frustrating!

    Mine isn't logging steps either (although that's from Jawbone rather than fitbit)
    I'm wondering if a bug has crept into the last update?

    I am about to un sync it and manually add calories for exercise if it isn't corrected soon. Such a bummer though. I liked them being synced!

    I'm not having any trouble with mine, but I just updated everything. I have an iPhone 5s

    I was having trouble with mine, I in the FAQ's that you can force it to sync by disconnecting and then reconnecting the accounts. That worked and it's been running fine on autopilot since then.

    I updated both my phone and mfp and reset my Fitbit. When I completed my diary today I was told if every day is like today in the next 5 weeks I'd weigh 15 lbs more than I do now. :/
