Hey MFP friends,

When I go to my profile, at the top it says “0lbs lost”. I’ve been logging my weight loss, and I’m down 12 lbs. Is it a monthly update?

I want to see that loss!

    Where are you updating your weight loss? Are you perhaps updating your starting weight instead of entering weigh-ins?

    Have you considered a blue tooth scale? I got a really sleek Renpho glass scale off Amazon for about $20 bucks. It reports to my phone, which updates MFP. It also records so-called body fat, water, muscle etc%. Those numbers are horribly inaccurate and mostly good for a laugh (true for all scales and handheld devices), but I find any kind of graph with a downward or level trend is AOK, even if the numbers are mythical.

    I’m logging my weight in the app on my dashboard.

    The Bluetooth scale is a good idea. I just have a basic scale and I enter the numbers and a pic manually.

    Have you checked which starting weight is selected in your goal settings? Is it the right date/ weight?

    And if that isn't the issue, there might be a bug, because it isn't a monthly thing, the weight loss should always be current.

    Your graph shows starting weight at 200, but only a one month view, so it’s only showing 30 days of stats.

    If you want to see the whole trek graph, expand to 90 days or one year and you’ll see all of it.

    Here is my 30 days:

    Versus “all” (about five years):

    *caveat: this shows a very intentional weight gain, because I got too low

    @springlering62 I thought she was referring to her profile, which states 0lbs lost?

    This bit, I thought:

    You’re kidding. Where do you see that? I’ve never noticed it before.

    That was it! It was set to 185 for some reason.

    Thanks!

    Might be different in iOS? In Android, that's what I see at the top of the page of the More menu.
