Question about weight tracking

Hi! I recorded my weight last Tuesday on MFP and then again this morning - exactly a week from starting. I have lost 3.5 pounds. My home page status then read "Amcblee has lost 3.5lbs since her last weigh in. She has lost .5 pounds so far." I was like, huh? And then my ticker says I have only lost .5 as well.

I guess I don't really care because I definitely lost the weight. But I'm curious - is there some sort of automatic adjustment MFP makes? Why did it make that cryptic update?

    Go to your profile and make sure that your "starting weight" is the same as your first "weigh in" weight. You must have set it 3 lbs lighter than your first weigh in.

    Thanks! Still working out the kinks - I downloaded the app in December and must have recorded a "guess" weight just to check out the program. Didn't start using it until a week ago. I can't find where I recorded my starting weight! But I'm sure that's it. Hopefully I can adjust it. I like MFP!
