Would also love to see this happen MFP syncs to my fitbit and would like to have a place that i can see ALL my activities not have to switch between to see my food and activities.
I currently own a Forerunner 310 and an Edge 510. I agree with others on this and the MFP forums in requesting and interface be created. I held off from posting in hopes that something similar to MFP would be released with the new vesion of Connect 2.0. I've seen posted dating back to 2012 requesting this interface, sad to see that Garmin is not listening to it's user community. :(
I was thinking of getting the Vivofit, but if it isn't going to sync with MFP then maybe I'll stick with my FitBit. I really like the HRM integration but I need it to work with MFP.
The current Vivofit descriptions suggest that it is coming:
Keep Moving
When you're ready to take the next steps toward better health, vivofit has additional features to keep you motivated. Use a heart rate monitor with vivofit to record your heart rate data and get more accurate calorie burn information for any fitness activity, such as a run or a session at the gym. For detailed calorie tracking, you can create an account at MyFitnessPal and link it to your Garmin Connect account. This allows you to compare calories consumed to your total calories burned, which vivofit records throughout the day. Also at Garmin Connect, you can join online challenges with other vivofit users or start your own competition with friends to compete for virtual badges and bragging rights.
Would be great to get some timeframes on this, but I suspect that at its earliest it will not be out before Vivofit is released which is due 1st Quarter which as we all know really means the last day of Quarter 1.

Still looks positive.
Just received my shipping notice from REI, should have the Vivofit by Friday. So they are shipping in the US now, the question is will Garmin follow thru on what you said above for MFP.

that above quote was on the REI spec sheet for the Vivofit for over a month. One week ago they removed it. Bad sign.
