Why can't i sync my Lose it app with my Garmin? The Lose it app told me to contact you to fix it. Thank you.

I want my calories burned to sync to my Lose it app...only way i can keep track of it is if its done automatically...i can not enter the numbers manually. The Lose it app is waiting for authentication from the Garmin. It saud to contact you to get that...thank you.

I would really like to see food / diet integration with loseit.com. I have been using them for many years and their app is much better at this than my fitness pal. All the other major platforms - runkeeper, fitbut, also integrate with loseit, this would be a great feature.

I agree - I'm seeing this request in a lot of threads on this forum, Garmin do you have any intention of doing this? I don't want to go back to Fitbit, but right now it's a trade-off. I can either get automatic syncing for my workouts with Garmin, or automatic syncing with my calorie counter with Fitbit. I'm on the fence as to whether or not to return the Garmin, having some idea that you are considering offering this sync would help.

And did you authorize the Lose it app in Garmin Connect settings?

It is not there as an option...other apps are that i don't have but not the lose it app.

In that case it looks like the Lose it app is either not properly registered and does not hook up into the app interface, or is not compatible with Garmin Connect. You could consider using a supported alternative. Perhaps MyFitnessPal (https://www.myfitnesspal.com/) may be a suitable replacement for the same purpose.

I have downloaded the loseit app from android and have it synced with garmin connect on my phone ok. So loseit app on my phone now includes calories burned from activity recorded on my fenix 6 via the garmin connect app.

But when I try to access calories in/out on garmin connect I receive an error message "linking accounts failed" and i have the options to "try again" or "cancel". Clicking the former just loops the same message.

I know I can try uninstalling everything and trying again but has anyone found a solution other than that?

Thanks

You shouldn't have to uninstall/reinstall. Try disconnecting from both sides, then connecting Lose IT again.

From the Lose IT site disconnect Garmin
From Garmin Connect disconnect Lose IT from the Account Information page
Log out of Garmin Connect
From Lose IT site connect Garmin
