Is Anyone Else Still Having Problems Syncing With MFP?

It is 10 day since my fitbit did a sync with MFP. I have steps enabled on it. I have disabled steps, forced stop and re-enabled again. I have done everything mfp said to do and fitbit said to do in emails. After emailing them I have just had the standard reply and nothing more, so emailed them again. Nothing back yet. All things point to it being back to normal, but mine isn't. The fitbit end is working fine, just not the calorie adjustment on MFP. Anyone else still having trouble? I can't imagne it is just me

    I haven't been able to get my new fitbit to sync with MFP at all since I got it about a month ago.

    I honestly do not understand WHY I cannot sync my fit bit either, I have been using a Fit Bit now for over 5 months. I have tried to sync it over and over. Just never seems to work for me. :s

    My fit bit flex was working great until about 2 weeks ago. Now it won't sync either. Very flustrating!!

    My HR Charge worked this morning. It hadn't been syncing for about a week. So glad it is working again (hopefully for good?)

    Thanks guys. Glad it is just not me. I have had mine two years and have never had it not sync for so long.

    My fitbit isn't syncing, but my scale is, which makes me think that there's a more complicated issue going on with the API.

    I got mine to work last night and it is still working this morning. First time in 12 days. I went to the fitbit app > settings > applications then scoll down to fitbit partners and revoke access. I then went to MFP online and disconnected MFP from fitbit. In the app I went to steps and disconnected that. Left it for 30 mins then reconnected everything again in reverse order. It then showed fitbit adjustments on MFP but wouldn't update my steps. This morning I notice it has updated my steps now and I have a fitbit adjustment this morning which s updating steps.

    Mine was working again for a couple of days now it is not syncing.

    Food goes to fitbit OK but calories and steps do not come back to mfp.

    Tried the standard unlink and relink, no joy.

    I think I might just go back to fitbit for everything again, I do like the food data Base on mfp though....

    But if it is going to be of and on like this I will cancel my premium me thinks

    My steps load but my calorie burning is not. Not sure what the problem is.

    If you have your Fitbit app on your cell and another devise uninstall it from just one if them . Then reinstall it see if it will sync. If it does then do the same to your other device. I did this a couple weeks ago and so far my Fitbit is syncing everyday.

    I have tried everything. It has not synced for over a week now. I have uninstalled it on my iphone, unsynced fitbit and mfp, rebooted my iphone. Reinstalled and connected everything again...made sure the track my steps was checked in mfp...NOTHING is working. This is so frustrating.

    My Charge HR also stopped syncing with MFP a couple of weeks ago! I thought it was just me but guess many are affected by this

    Could be a coincidence, but I've noticed if there's a glitch with anything on mfp, not just steps, IOS users seem to be affected more than Android users.

    Off and on for a couple of weeks. Mine has been fine for the last two days but I expect it will get stuck again soon

    I haven't been able to sync between MFP and fitbit for probably 2 months now, so frustrating!

    Mine started working for 3 days after not syncing for 12 days. Now it has stopped syncing again. I have disconnected the two and just do it manually. It stops me stressing over it

    I can't get the negative calorie adjustment to take on the website. It keeps giving me an error. Doesn't seem like the android MFP app is communicating well with either fitbit or with the PC site. I just reinstalled everything last night because I've been away too long and I make bad food decisions still (evidently) and want my neg adjustments in place. :-( Advice?

    Steps and sleep are syncing for me, but I'm just doing the caloric adjustments manually. Mild pain in the butt, but eh, none too difficult.
