Fitbit sync question

Is there a way for the weight that is reported in mfp be imported to Fitbit? It shows that it reads and writes from mfp but it's not importing my weight details into the Fitbit app.
Also the calories burned is not entering mfp. I have tried de authorizing and re authorizing to no avail

Have you figured out a way? Or do you just manually enter it?

    MFP sends aggregate meal data and water to Fitbit. Weight & exercise sync both ways.

    If that's not happening, there's something wrong. Disconnect your accounts at http://www.myfitnesspal.com/fitbit

    Delete both apps, restart your device, and reinstall both apps. Reconnect your accounts.

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

    In the MFP app, go to More > Steps and choose Fitbit.

    You can learn more in the Fitbit Users group: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1290-fitbit-users

    Thanks for the reply. Using your method I was able to get the negative calories working..however im still unable to change weight. I am using a withings scale to get the data to MFP, I wonder if there's a disconnect from there? I Dunno. It shows up in MFP..but not in Fitbit

    Now that your accounts are synced, MFP should send your weight to Fitbit. But only going forward—not historical data.
