I may have stumbled on a fix for the data sync issues. I have not had any myfitnesspal data sync since January 6. Just now I changed my time settings in garmin connect from 12hr to 24hr and my data synced instantly. I think this might have something to do with why the two apps will not talk to each other. The data came in from myfitnesspal but I'm still waiting to see if it will sync from connect back to myfitnesspal.
