Help regarding incorrect weight loss in 'Your Daily Summary'

in Getting Started
Hi all,

Just wondering if you can help me please. I started using the fab app weighing 19st10lbs last week, I then didn't use the app but have re-started today and entered my new weight of 19st8lbs.

However, in my daily summary (on PC and iphone) it is showing that I have lost 2lbs when in infact it should be 0 as I have re-started.

Please can anyone suggest what I can do to rectify this? Much obliged.

Lee

    Check-in -> Edit previous entries -> change the "starting weight"

    Hi there,

    Many thanks for that but I've done that and it's still showing a 2lb loss. Any other thoughts?

    Go to edit previous entry and delete the entry with the higher weight.

    Hi Lee,

    the above posters are correct, however I have found that on the app (Apple) I still have the incorrect reading. I contacted MFP and they have told me it is a known bug they are working on a fix for. It means I am 6kg behind my actual loss on my summary page (I did the opposite of you and gained a lot!) so I just ignore it.

    Good luck with the journey.
    K :smile:
