MyFitnessPal Issue

I can't seem to get my Garmin Index Scale weight to sync from this account to MFP. However, as a test, I disconnected this account from MFP and connected a test Garmin account I created using a different email address to MFP and the weight for that second account synced just fine. I put everything back to use this Garmin account again and the weight still won't sync. What is wrong with this account that is preventing a weight sync to MFP?

    MFP seems to think this is a Garmin issue and I can't get anyone at Garmin to even respond to my emails. What horrible customer service this company has.

    Just discovered how weird this issue is and I think I just proved this is a bug on Garmin's side. If I manually enter a weight in Gamin the new weight is sent to MFP. It's only when I use the scale that the weight doesn't get sent over. Here is what I've done to test this.

    Manually enter a new weight on the Garmin weight screen:
    • New entry is created in my Garmin weight history.
    • Weight under my account settings automatically get's update.
    • Weight under the device settings for my watch and scale automatically get's updated.
    • Weight is sent to my watch and scale.
    • Weight in MyFitnessPal automatically get's updated!!!!
    Step on scale and sync to Garmin:
    • New entry is created in my Garmin weight history.
    • Weight under my account settings automatically get's update.
    • Weight under the device settings for my watch and scale automatically get's updated.
    • Weight is sent to my watch and scale.
    • No weight information is sent to MyFitnessPal!!!!
    I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that this account is the primary account for the scale. I say this because all the other accounts attached to this scale send the weight information to MFP. I guess my next troubleshooting step will be to transfer ownership of the scale to one of the other accounts to see if that fixes the issue on this account.
