Updating ticker

Roeygal

Hey there! My starting weight a week ago was 191lbs, and I've gone down to 187lbs, but it still says 0lbs lost on my ticker. I've made sure to check-in properly and everything, but the starting weight on it has gone down to 187lbs instead. Even on the reports bit it says I've gone down.

Probably a silly problem, but help a sister out?

If you want your ticker to update you basically have to make it again, it's not dynamic. Click 'Personalize your ticker' at http://www.myfitnesspal.com/Roeygal and go through the steps again.

I remade it just now, but it's still saying the same thing?

Oh snap, nevermind. Just found how to do it properly. Thank you.

Just dropping this here again for those MFP users lurking...

You must use the Web version, not the mobile apps, to update your starting weight.

Navigate to APPS > Tickers > Update your weight data. Enter your desired starting weight and click Save Changes. That will update the oldest date/weight in your profile.

Alternately, navigate to MY HOME > Check-in > Edit Previous Entries.
a. Enter a new value in the Starting Weight text box and click Change; or
b. Scroll down and click on the highest page number to take you to the oldest date/weight entry. Once you find your oldest date/weight entry, under Add New Entry, enter the new date/weight and click Add New Entry. That will replace the oldest date/weight with your new one.
c. If you want to keep all of your historical data, Add New Entry at least one day older than the oldest date/weight.

Mine updates every time I update under "progress" on the mobile app or "check-in" on the website. Make sure if you want to show progress, you don't update your starting weight to your new weight.

Thank you by the way! I appreciate the advice.
