Withings Scale and Garmin Connect

I was looking for an ANT+ scale that would integrate with my Garmin Forerunner 225 but was disappointed with the offerings. Instead I went with a Withings Scale. Am presently surprised and happy that through MyFitnessPal the Withings measurements are automatically being uploaded to Garmin Connect - exactly what I was looking for. I'm not getting the body fat measurement but at least I can see my calorie intake, activity and weight on the Garmin Connect web site. Would be nice if Garmin/Withings would offer integration at the app level.

I'm wondering if it's just a typo or a misunderstanding when they wrote "to transfer the data to MyFitnessPal"...?

Before buying the Garmin index scale, for several years I was using MyFitnessPal to sync withngs scale data to Garmin Connect. The process was quirky at best. Not sure if it will help here, but in the past it was a matter of disconnecting MFP and Garmin Connect then reconnecting - Weight not syncing from MyFitnessPal

That was the recommendation from Garmin when I opened my original ticket and it worked. When it stopped last week and that disconnect/reconnect didn't work, Support suggested I also do a reset on the iPhone. All that did was bring in that day's weigh-in. It didn't fill in the missing weights nor continue to sync the next. When I replied with that info and mentioned that members on the forum were experiencing the same issues, the above was their latest reply. :(

Now I manually disconnect/connect between MFP and GC everyday...

I found that "Sync now" on CALORIES IN/OUT of Daily Summary on Garmin Connect.
Thus we only click "Sync now" EVERYDAY.

Seems the work around is now broken after 6 or 7 years my weight stopped syncing and was directed to this thread.

I reinstalled Garmin Connect and notice a difference in Apple Health settings - Garmin no longer reads weight from apple health.

I use this: https://github.com/jaroslawhartman/withings-sync

Every morning after I weigh myself, I run a command that syncs it to garmin connect. I also sync to MFP which used to cause a duplicate being sent to garmin every day which I deleted. I noticed that stopped a week or two ago.

I've found this workaround too. Go to Health Stats-Calories In/Out, pull down to refresh, or press the 'Log calories in MFP' button and that pulls calories and weight through

Today I sent a troubleshooting message to Myfitnesspal about this problem. I suggest you all do the same, so that they notice.

I now again tried disconnecting the Myfitnespal<->Garmin connection from both ends, and activating it again. This morning my weight finally synced again to Garmin Connect.
