I need to understand this report?

LensCap

I went to my check-in today and entered my new weight......down 12 lbs....and I get this note below.....I don't get why it says Ive lost 9 lbs so far....Any Ideas why?

lost 12 lbs since his last weigh-in! Lenscap's lost 9 lbs so far.

If you were heavier than your initial starting weight, it would say that.

Example: initial starting weight is set at 250lbs, you enter a weight gain at 253lbs, then you lose 10 lbs. your status would read: lost ten lbs since last weigh in, lost 7 lbs so far. Make sense?
