Fitbit syncing problems

in Getting Started
I just can't get my Fitbit to sync with MFP. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both apps a number of times and it just won't work. So, my question is whether there is actually any value in continuing to use MFP, or if it just makes sense to log my food directly onto the Fitbit app. The food tracking portion of the Fitbit app has actually improved quite a bit over the years and I'm not sure I would be missing much by dropping MFP and just using that exclusively.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem. My steps from yesterday finally synced but my steps for today are missing.

    Same situation here. My steps from yesterday synced overnight, but today nothing. It's so annoying. I've uninstalled and re-installed and still having problems. I wish this would just work - this is not the first time I've had this issue.

    Same here. Seems to be a major issue, would appreciate any comment from MFP and/or a general notification and confirmation that there are issues right now

    No steps syncing for me either. It's syncing the other direction, so my food is showing up in my fitbit app, but my exercise/steps aren't coming through to MFP. It's super frustrating as I need that to know what I should be eating for the day.

    My steps weren't syncing and after reconnecting both apps, re-installing both apps, still nothing. Calories logged in on MyFitnessPal are no longer being tracked on my Fitbit either.

    The relationship between Fitbit & MFP is iffy at best. I use both: MFP for logging and for the community aspect. And Fitbit to gauge how much I'm moving.

    I have the same 'weight loss' goal set in Fitbit as MFP, even though I don't log food there. One thing different about Fitbit: it gives you credit for movement as you do it, while MFP assumes a certain activity level all day. What does this mean? When I look at the Fitbit app, it tells me how many calories I have for the day based on what I've already done.

    Right now Fitbit tells me I have 1232 calories available to consume. Its early in my day (not yet 8am) and I did a 25 minute walk. But that 1232 will increase as I move more thru my day. My goal is to eat around 1400 and for Fitbit to tell me I can eat around 1500. So as long as the Fitbit # is lower, I know I still need to do more today.

    My steps haven't synced since the early morning of June 25. Tried the usual fixes. Still not syncing....
    Please fix!

    No sync for me either since yesterday morning :( no steps, no weight logs, no physical activity. This has happened before, but it never lasted this long. Especially annoying since I've just hit my weight goal and can't see it in the app. Really hope this is being looked at.

    Having the same issue, I manually added "Exercise" just to see the calories that I would have received then deleted them out. It is annoying but gave me a point of reference last night.

    Apparently MFP/Underarmor had some major outage - their status page says everything is back online now - but I haven't seen anything sync yet - anyone else have any luck?

    Glad I am not the only one. I like that MFP has a better tracking and more options for micronutrients but it is frustrating that I have to manually enter my steps (work around to it not syncing but it doesn't give you as much credit). I also noticed that if you access MFP online the website is having issues. The home page NEVER comes up just keeps saying there is an error try again later. But some of the other tabs like food diary work. They must be having some type of system issues. Hopefully they monitor these boards and will fix the issue soon.

    My Fitbit and MFP hasn't synced yesterday or today. Sooooo annoyed! Tried uninstalling once. Didn't work. Wish MFP would give us an update.

    Mine updated at 3:46pm yesterday and nothing since. Very annoying as i signed up to Premium too and also thought this may be the issue. I have contacted MFP three times today for answers as i've tried everything. And although they say steps are an incentive, yes they are when its working but showing 0 steps when you've done 1,000's and need to see your calorie count then it doesn't work as an incentive! Not happy at all and needs sorting MFP asap. The dashboard doesn't seem to be updating for me either on website!

    I have not seen my step count since Wednesday. So if MFP has an issue I wish they would get it fixed.
