Hi!
My Fitbit is suddenly not syncing with MFP. I tried to manually sync it (by clicking on "sync" in MFP) also tried re-booting my phone. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

    Mine isn't syncing either. It stopped halfway through the day on the 3rd.

    Mine isn't either - although only on the Fitbit app - it syncs on the dashboard on the Fitbit website.

    Yeah, my Fitbit syncs on it's own. It just isn't syncing with MFP.

    I had to go on web and disconnect from myfitnesspal and then go back into fitbit on phone and reconnect it then it worked fine. I went into food log and did refresh and then entered a meal. Unfortunately it did not recapture my breakfast I had entered.

    I just read this on MFP FAQ/feedback.
    I followed the steps and it worked!

    Do you have to have Verizon for your MFP FitBit to work togeather I don't own one but was considering getting one but I need to know more about it I like for things to work?

    Same here. There must be a problem on the fitbit's end of things. I logged in and couldn't see my steps for today.

    I am 99% sure it is on mfp's side of things. My food was syncing over to fitbit but my steps were not syncing over to mfp.

    Same thing with me. Food synced from MFP to Fitbit but steps not synced to MFP.

    When I had a fitbit this happened pretty frequently. I tried not to update either app ever if they were stable, thats the only way it seemed to stay working. Everytime I updated one app or the other they would stop syncing and it became a chore to get them working again. Don't have this problem with my garmin...

    This is happening frequently with my Fitbit and mfp. Getting tired of resetting everything.

    I followed the guidance to log off and then back on again and it hasn't worked. Mine also stopped syncing steps yesterday so it must be a bug presumably on mfp as Fitbit working ok.

    Mine is doing the same thing. I have tried the disconnect, reconnect 3 times now. I've even deleted and re installed the app and nothing I do will make mfp recognise any steps I do. My food syncs to fitbit fine, so it must be a mfp issue. :(

    Just started with MFP and fitbit last week, I must say this not syncing issue is pretty discouraging! yesterday I reset the link between the two apps and it worked again but I don't really want to do that every day? Ugh

    Sure not switching to premium if this is an on going problem. Will wait and see.
