Why is logging in starting from the start

So I've logged in MFP for over 20 days and I think on Monday it was 20/25 days I can't remember. But for some reason it's reset its self and its I've only only logged for 5 days . Does anyone know why this is? Thanks

    It tracks how many days in a row you've logged in. If you miss a day, it resets.
    The logic is to motivate you to log in every single day.
    Good chance that if you're logging in, you're mindful of the health choices you make, and you're more likely to reach your goals.

    Wish you much success ! ~Debbie

    you can get it reset somewhere on the site. But yeah if you don't log in you lose the streak. Its a streak to motivate consistently logging in, not a total of how long you have used it.

    It is counting how many days in a row you've logged in. If you skip a day, it starts over. :)

    Sounds like you missed a day and it reset.

    And what it is really measuring is the number of days you accessed the app AND synchronized to the server. So if you recorded food but it didn't sync correctly it can drop the count. Also it will keep the count going if you just open and sync but haven't recorded anything.
    It's a system motivation tool but it really means very little.
