FitBit syncing

Hi. I'm fairly new to MFP (have been tracking faithfully for a couple months) after losing over 100 lbs on Weight Watchers. I got bored and decided I wanted to try calories for a change and am loving the MFP app. I wear a FitBit Blaze and the meals I log in MFP carry right over to the FitBit app, but I don't see the same happening with my activity. Do I need to do something to enable my FitBit activity to show up in my MFP app? Or is it just not possible? How do others handle this? Thanks so much. Thank you also for the inspiration I get from being a part of this community.

    This is from the Fitbit Group (here) and it worked for me! From user @topgals :

    1. Through MFP phone app
    2. Select 'Apps & Devices'
    3. Disconnect Fitbit & then reconnect
    4. Go back to previous page of MFP
    5. Select 'steps' from the list
    6. Select 'fitbit' to track your steps ... (mine had set itself to 'do not track steps')
    7. Log out of MFP
    8. Log back into MFP & you should see your Fitbit steps across top of page, but might be at 0, so you'll need to sync:
    9. Drag the MFP screen down to sync
    10. And do same on your Fitbit dashboard

    Thanks so much. I just tried this and was happy to see that I did not have "steps" checked off. I thought that would fix things but I still don't see my steps. I am going to continue to play around with this because I'm wondering if it's too confusing that I have the app on both my phone and iPad and then also have the desktop dashboard. There has to be a reason! Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. This is making me crazy...lol.

    Thank you again, gazellefish. It worked! I went through those steps on all my devices and I'm now synced. I appreciate the help.
