Yet another MFP flaw (I think)

When I select weight change by the WEEK, MFP only uses 6 days of data. For example, if today is Monday, MFP calculates the weight change from the prior Tuesday to today, Monday. That’s only 6 days. For those who weigh themselves weekly…this flaw doesn’t show up. If you only weigh yourself on Mondays, then you will get an accurate CHANGE. However, for those of us who weigh daily, it’s FLAWED. And…its yet another funny one to me. It shows that the developers DO NOT use the product. It isn’t a bug…they meant to do this. It’s simply flawed thinking. They also do this for monthly as well. It’s actually 1 MONTH minus 1 DAY. Or maybe I’m losing my mind?

    I’m surprised more people haven’t complained about this….ha…I communicated with MFP about this and they agreed, you can not actually get a week’s worth of time in based on how they measure it. So what that means, is if you trust MFP to calculate your weekly loss/gain then they are only using six days of data and calling it seven.
