Just out of curiosity, why does MFP still show that I've lost 0 lbs even tho I've lost 5? I've been logging it in my progress

    Is your starting weight entered correctly?

    Happens for me sometimes in the app when I have a connection issue. Fixes itself by closing and opening the app again

    Are you on the site or the app, OP?

    Mine shows "0 lbs lost" on the front page of the site... even though I know I've logged my weight and the ticker I have on my profile updates when I log.

    edit: Corrected this for myself - OP, do you have old weight entries that are lower than what you set your starting weight at? That was my issue.

    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.

    Got it fixed! Thank you!
