ok everyone and anyone who may be able to answer my question! How come I've lost 13 lbs and it only shows that i lost 9 lbs? Is the 9 lbs water weight or actual weight?

    What only shows 9lbs? Your MFP ticker?

    I think it might be the MFP ticker, but I'm not sure.

    A glitch from MyFitnessPal's side, most likely.

    Editing to say: Your ticker also shows that you've lost only nine pounds. Are you sure you updated your weight check-in correctly?

    i started at needing to loose 123 lbs and now it's down to 110 left to loose that's 13 lbs. but the number under my pic is 9 lbs lost so far.

    it counts from the very first weight you ever put in when you signed up - so sounds like you first logged in 9lbs heavier than current weight - even if that was years ago

    The good news is that you can change your starting weight to reflect what you've lost now! Go to Check-in>Edit Previous Entries and re-enter your starting weight. :)

    Just go in and edit your original starting weight.
