Settings on both apps say they are connected. But they are not communicating with each other. Any tips? Thank you.

I'm having issues, too. Last sync was 6-8 hours ago in the morning.
Edit: works now.6 -
Has the fitbit sync been resolved yet? I am still having issues with both the app and the website on both sides5

Mine was syncing this morning...... then stopped.2

Mine stopped syncing with mfp again! So frustrating!3
-
Mine isn't syncing either, another programmer checking and/or unchecking the wrong box again???3
-
Mine and my husband's stopped syncing earlier today as well. We have the Ionic and the Charge 2. We both tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app with no luck. Very frustrating.2
-
Mine also has not synched in two days ... annoying!4
-
Patience...I've seen these things come and go. It will get resolved soon.2

@jaful only moving forward1

So weird how the issue hits in waves. mine was syncing just fine yesterday and earlier today, and suddenly stopped midday. Oh well, it’ll be up soon hopefully.0

Mine is also not syncing, hasn't in 2 days and I have disconnected and reconnected the app multiple times.

Why does this problem have to recur every couple of months or so?7

Has anyone's synced today weird? Today it is sinking my steps for yesterday midday when the syncing stopped, which is throwing off all my numbers.
For example, yesterday I had about 11,500 steps when the syncing issue happened, but I totaled 20,000 yesterday. I now have syncing at 11,500 for both yesterday and today!!
This is driving me crazy as today was my rest day and I want to eat my calories back (heheheehe).1 -
I'm still not syncing. On day 2 as well. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting also. Super annoying.

Dumb question -- can I usually see my steps on the MFP website? I have been looking for over an hours and cannot find a link that says "steps". What am I doing wrong?? Thanks0

On the home page, just directly under where it shows you your calories used and remaining, there's a horizontal bar that goes across the bottom of the box -- it should show your steps as you sync your Fitbit and MFP. But syncing is not working today, so it won't be correct.

The one solution I found was to use another app called PACER that syncs with fitbit for steps, then connect PACER to MFP and use it for steps and it has been syncing for me.4

What is the best way to add exercises in the MFP when your fitbit Steps aren't syncing? I don't want to lose all the calories earned from my steps when they aren't showing up in MFP. I don't think I can add the steps directly. Any suggestions?0

It has not been syncing well for a week yesterday. Since yesterday into today has been the worst but this issue has been prevalent since over a week.0
-
My Charge HR is also not syncing tonight. Worked just fine yesterday. Are they working on updates again??? Just happened last week too!!!???0
-
Mine not syncing today or yesterday1
-
Sigh....Here we go again. Mine is not syncing either. The help post says delays. I haven't had it sync in 2 days unless I disconnect/reconnect.2
-
I tried disconnect/reconnecting. It synced for a couple of hours, then stopped again.0

Super frustrating. For me, disconnecting and reconnecting is forcing a sync, but only for the current day. For yesterday, which is when the issue started for me, I scrolled my Fitbit history to find a day during which I burned roughly the same number of calories as yesterday, then
I looked at that day’s MFP adjustment of calories earned. Then I logged a custom exercise with a duration of 1 minute in which I “burned” that exact number of calories. It got me in the ballpark. Hope they address this soon. My Fitbit earns me snacks. I can’t live without snacks!4 -

The calories and steps have nothing to do with each other on MFP.
Steps is merely a number, like amount of glasses you drank of water.
Calorie burn for the day is what is needed for MFP to do the math.
What is your normal deficit - 500 calories say?
Look at your Fitbit stat for calories burned - subtract 500 - eat that much.
Later in the day you'll of course be able to eat more as you keep increasing daily burn on Fitbit.1 -
Any news as to when sync will be up again??1
Does anyone know when they fix this issue if it usually syncs up all the missed days or only going forward?
