  • After using this for a while longer, I'm still getting VASTLY different numbers from the Chronos app to the Jawbone app, but here is my theory: I feel like the step data that it is reading in is not a number value but more the actual STEP DATA, the accelerometer data is being passed to the jawbone app. The jawbone app is…
  • I I am not using a Jawbone. Only the UP app. I wonder if you read the whole thread? The premise here is to try and pipe steps from a device and app not directly supported by MFP, into MFP.
  • After a little more tinkering and allowing other apps to read and write, now health and chronos are completely in sync, they have the exact same number. Jawbone pulled in more up to 905, but still not where it is supposed to be, I'm just so darn confused by this. Its a VALUE, the value should be the same, how can the app…
  • I guess I'm still just a little perplexed at how it works because its a VALUE. Its just a number. When you read a number in from one app to another it shouldn't change so wildly. Chronos says i have 2,152 steps as of now, Health app says 1,968, and Jawbone Up says 344. THREE HUNDRED AND FORTY FOUR? From TWO THOUSAND? HOW!?…
  • I think I found the culprit, since the Jawbone app supports negative calorie adjustments in MFP I had to turn that on. Before it wasn't supported just using the iPhone, and it was doing its own algorithm by simply not crediting me any unless i was ahead of the curve for the day. I think Jawbone, with negative adjustments…
  • Aha! I managed to get this working! Though it seems like it is giving me WAY more calories than it is supposed to for just the amount of steps i have taken. Right now for example i have 1500 steps piped into MFP, at this late in the day that MIGHT give me 10 calories. For some reason it is giving me 130 calories. Hmmm, I…
  • Ive continued to tinker with this, and have set MFP to be able to read step data from the Health app, but it still will not get those steps into the app. Even completely turned off step tracking from the iPhone in hopes it would then pipe the steps that are listed in the Health app. No dice. It will ONLY sync actual steps…
  • Another thing to note is the type of lifestyle you have entered into MFP vs the number of steps you have. Maybe it changed your lifestyle or something. I know MFP only adds calories based on expected activity, so if I put in that I have a sedentary lifestyle, it would expect me to walk 1200 to 1500 steps a day just doing…
  • I'm using Max 30, lost about 8 lbs with it and tracking with MFP, now using the Tabata Power video about 3 - 4 times a week to try and get some tone. Seems to be working. I had my first real weight loss a few years ago when I used the original Insanity (the one in the gymnasium) videos. Lost about 12 lbs then. Love Shaun…
