You need to not look at daily weights and look at trends - I find the graph(s) on the fitbit website (dashboard) are probably the most use. I weigh daily, or sometimes more, but I don't worry about the answers .. it's almost impossible to achieve and real weight (muscle/fat) change in a day, but you can lose/gain 5Kg (of…

Today it seems to be broken (again). Mine has worked OK most days, but not today. MFP and Fitbit seem to have enormous trouble getting it to keep working reliably - and it's impossible to guess which one of them manages to break it.

The article actually says " We have since identified an issue that will delay the completion of the maintenance until next week, in the mean time, we have resumed our processors, for sync to resume. " I assumed 'we have resumed our processors' (and this was 2+ days ago) means something should have happened .. well "it…

Except 2 days later and it still isn't fixed, at least not for me. They also broke something else - copying food items from any 'recent' page other than page 1 results in an error (web page version). From page 1, or from search box, works fine.

Yes, it appears everyone (at least 'lots of people') is affected. Have to look at Fitbit dashboard (seems MFP is still sending food data to FB, just is failing to get exercise information back the other way).

Well this is the second day .. but yeah, that is pretty pathetic, it ought be possible to restore whatever worked on Saturday, unless they've lost the recipe. It's not syncing in either direction (usually when it breaks the food eaten still gets sent to FC, but this time not).

I'm seeing issues with 'calories from exercise' resetting to earlier time, and then fixing themselves, and then double-entering (one number from earlier PLUS the later number). Been happening on and off for a week or so now. 'refresh page' sometimes fixes it .. then it'll go wrong again next time I enter food.

Same here in UK .. does seem to happen from time to time. Other apps getting data from fitbit seem to be receiving it OK, and fitbit is getting MFP food data OK, so I guess the issue is the MFP end (again!). Great when it works, but just isn't anything like 100% reliable.

The issue is that the webpage says I have fitbit app as step tracker and as activity tracker. Turns out that is not true (even if I disconnect and reconnect) .. the (android) MFP app tells me (truly) that steps is set to 'do not track', which probably explains why NO Fbit corrections are being picked up by MFP. Whether…

For some reason the MFP 'steps' setting only seems fixable from the app (when I look at it there is says 'no source') .. the website swears I have fitbit selected as a steps tracker AND as an activity tracker, but still the data was not making it across. MFP development has definitely messed it up somehow .. and it seems…

But how do I fix this on the website, if not using the app? Fitbit is shown as the app and already connected,but I don't, see a 'steps' option.

While it might work for some people, it doesn't work for me. I use PC and android, only, and on android I use the web page not the app. MFP is calculating completely different calorie burn numbers from what it used to (maybe more accurate, who knows) but then it is using a different number to calculate the fitbit…

It wouldn't matter what MFP guessed the burn was, if only they'd use the SAME number to a) calculate the correction from fitbit, and then b) add to that correction to get your actual calorie burn (and thus your budget for food). The problem is they are continually using two different numbers .. so they calculate the fitbit…

Here's the screenshot to demonstrate the bug (taken seconds apart): Being in maintenance mode, my daily deficit should be zero, so burned = eaten

Basically MFP is using a different 'mfp calories burned' number to work out the fibit calorie adjustment from the one it then uses (adds back on) to get the total calories you can eat. So fitbit calories = 3000, MFP calories = 2900 => "fitbit calorie adjustment of 100", but then it goes (on the food page) 'your daily goal…

Yep, still broken, despite the 'help' posting which says they have rolled back their recent change (the one that broke it), it is actually still as broken as ever. Almost every time I refresh the MFP food page I get a different (by hundreds) and wrong, calorie adjustment from fitbit. The fitbit page is right .. or as right…

So why don't they just roll back the change(s), until such time as they have figured out how to do it properly? Presumably they have some sort of 'system restore' functionality!?

Yes, it's broken .. as is the 'help' link at the top of the MFP web page (tells me Sorry, There Was an Error With The Request The Desk.com support staff has been notified of this error.) (Server error 500) Why do they mess with it when it is working apparently perfectly before it gets changed (or is it fitbit that changes…

My partner's goal had same problem - she was set for 750 calorie shortfall (1.5 lbs/week weight loss) but all the calculations were being done based on 1000 calorie shortfall so she was starving herself to no good purpose. Also on the home page, the calorie calculation seems to assume that the 1200 'lower limit' for a…

Been there, done that, still no joy. Raised a ticket with MFP which is now flagged as 'resolved' but the problem goes on, and my partner has same problem too (didn't yesterday). Data not moving in either direction - no calories getting to fitbit from MFP, no exercise getting to MFP from fitbit .. when I say 'not getting',…
