    Make sure you don't have any other fitness trackers linked. My Fitbit never synced to MFP until removed my old UP band.

    Thank you for asking! I recently [Sunday] got one of these. It syncs to MFP? Ooooh...

    ... How the hell.. Time to lurk the site.

    I've had both a Fitbit & an UP synced with MFP for two years with zero problems.

    OP, verify your accounts are connected at http://www.myfitnesspal.com/fitbit

    If you see a zero calorie adjustment in your diary, then you've burned fewer calories than your MFP activity level.

    Enable negative calorie adjustments: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/diary_settings

    Adjustments are the difference between your tracker burn and your MFP activity level. With negative calorie adjustments disabled, you'll never eat at a true deficit on days you burn fewer calories than your activity level.

    Exercise logged in MFP overwrites your tracker burn during that time, so I log exercise in Fitbit—never MFP.

    Hey everyone, just a heads up for those who wear fitbit's. If anyone has walgreens near by, you are able to connect your fitbit to your walgreens card, online. You can download the walgreens app on your phone and fitbit does everything.

    If you put in your weight, blood sugar, etc you recieve points along with your steps. I average 10k steps and don't add my weight to often but through the Walgreens rewards card I get $35 every 3 months. Its easy way to make $140 a year for doing what you already are doing. :)
