Does anyone else here delete their stats?

For example, MFP automatically posts streaks every five days. I think once every 50 days is enough, so I immediately delete the others. Also, when I'm fluctuating in weight, one day it will say I lost .2 or whatever since my last posted weight, then I fluctuate a pound more, and it doesn't say anything, then I get back to the beginning weight, and it says that I've lost one pound since my last posted weight. I don't like this! I delete all until I've gotten under my newest low. I love MFP but there are a few quirks in my opinion . . .

I just changed my settings so I don't publish anything anymore.

This is what I did.
But before I discovered I could change the setting to not post these updates on my newsfeed, I did delete it straight away.

I don't, but I should. It's confusing for people bc it will post that I lost 2 pounds since my last weigh in but it doesn't show the preceding 2.5 lb increase from the days popcorn a few days prior...

I haven't bothered changing the settings yet, but the updates don't really irritate me anyway.

I do think it's funny when they say "ThisPerson lost 5 lbs since their last weigh-in. This person has lost 2 lbs so far!" It does assume that people never fluctuate, and nobody wants to gain. In that respect it might not be a bad idea to allow goals for weight gain.

I don't mind my info being published when it's a REAL weight loss or a significant days milestone, so I don't want to stop all publishing. Wish there was some way to modify them, though.

I think I have mine set to not publish. Not sure though. I don't usually look at my own feed.

I have it set not to publish my streak, loss or completed diary info, and if I lose something shareable, I change the setting back and log the weight. It sounds tedious, but it's not the worst thing in the world. Certainly not worse than my phone blowing up with the thousand likes and wtgs a day over something I wasn't excited about myself.

I only log when I reach a new lowest weight. And I don't do fractions of a pound. Right now I'm at 191.4 and I entered it in as 191. When I get down to 190.8 I'll put it in at 190. I don't bother with the decimal points. If I go up a pound or two I don't log anything. I just wait for the next new lowest weight.

I used to do the same, until... a few days ago. Then my scale suddenly decided to connect on her own to MFP and everyday reports my new weight, so I keep losing the same hundreds grams over and over.

I only record my losses on MFP. I don't record every little fluctuation.

Change the setting.

Seems like a minor issue.

But I only weigh once a week and my weight is what it is.

The whole streak thing is a little annoying every 5 days.

If I was setting it up it would be
Every 5 days - 0-50
Every 10 days - 50-100
Every 30 days 100+

Something like that.

But not annoying enough for me to delete it.

Is there much of a difference between 460 and 465 days? Worth seperate announcements?

Yes. This.
