MyFitnessPal weight import...

I know this has been asked, but I can't find a solution that works for me. My Garmin connect account has stopped importing weight data from MyFitnessPal. It has worked perfectly up to this week. I have disconnected/reconnected my accounts and this brought in the current dates weight, but then stops again the following day. Is there a solution that can get the data properly syncing again. It appears all other data is syncing between the 2 apps fine. Thanks

Hi,

I used my fitnesspal in order to synchronize my weight from Withings and I have the same problem on my iphone

I have this problem since 2 weeks ago. I tried to unlink and link the apps but no result.

I checked the synchronization is ok Withings => Myfitnesspal

I've been syncing weight from MFP to Connect two years now. The current problem is known and identified on MFP website, and I have the same situation as you.

I've been having the same problem. After disconnecting and reconnecting the MyFitnessPal->Garmin connection and entering a dummy calorie intake, my weight synchronized again today from my Withings scale to MyFitnessPal and from there to Garmin.

And honestly, I have no idea whether entering the dummy food item made any difference, the connection between MyFitnessPal and Garmin has had glitches lasting a couple of days before as well...

It's so frustrating. If I disconnect and then reconnect, it will sync Today's weigh-in, but not any subsequent weigh ins (if I weigh in tomorrow, it doesn't sync).

It's a known problem on the MyFitnessPal end:

Unfortunately, Garmin seems to be unaware of it.

Sigh, no my sync didn't resume either after the disconnect/reconnect and entering a dummy food. Today I again had to enter the weight manually, even though the weight was correctly transferred from Withings to MyFitnessPal.

I disconnected all the apps from each other yesterday. I then deleted my MFP account and created a new one. I then re-linked everything and my weight did sync yesterday (i had already weighed myself on my Withings before I did all this). This morning I weighed myself and it transfered to MFP. I then added a calorie intake for breakfast. My weight actually did sync when the calories came over! I don't know if adding the calories helped (I didn't check the Garmin connect transfer before I added them). I will see if it works tomorrow. Maybe creating a brand new account helped, I don't know?
