Hi - New here but just got out of the gym after 40 mins of weights which tracked on my Fitbit but won’t show up on MFP. Everything else seems to sync ok......am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!

    Has it synch with your phone/computer Fitbit app??

    Wait few minutes.. there was an issue synching yesterday between mfp and Fitbit. It's working for me now.

    I have tried following the instructions to deactivate and reactivate the app link but it still is not working. I have tried it on my phone and computer.

    I've looked on my Fitbit and mfp app. Fitbit only sync steps with mfp.

    I think you have to manually enter your weight lifting time etc in mfp.

    This. I sync steps and calories with mfp, but if I want to track what workouts I'm doing I enter it manually. It's simpler for me to just track workouts with fitbit and make sure the calories sync.

    There is a problem with the Fitbit charge 3 syncing with the fitbit APP. I have been going around in circles with Fitbit customer support regarding this. They said my device was defective and sent me a new one but that has the same issue. I am not the only one with this problem so there is something at Fitbits end that is glitching and they can't seem to fix it. If it syncs with the Fitbit app then it syncs with MFP but only enters steps and calories not exercise.

    I know not much help but that has been my experience sorry.

    @manderson27 bluetooth issues here with a Versa as well. It just started a couple of weeks ago with an update that fitbit won't acknowledge :D

    I hope they fix it soon, really soon.

    Did you ever get a resolution to this? My steps are showing up in mfp but not elliptical or weights or yoga etc....if I add it in manually on mfp it shows up again in fitbit so then it's in there double...so then I delete it.. just annoying.

    Mine is syncing steps now after like 3 years of using fitbit but it does not record my exercises. My friends who have garmins seems to work ok and comes up on their feed saying 'such-a-body has burned so many calories doing circuit training' for example...maybe it's a fitbit thing

    Fitbit doesn't sync individual exercise activities to MFP. You will only see the adjustment, not a notation of individual activities.
