Question about weighing in

Hello! I just joined last week. Today was my first weigh in. I am confused why I lost 6.3 pounds, but it's only tracking that I lost 3. Either way, I'm happy about it. I just don't understand why it's tracking 3 instead of 6. Any clues??

Thanks!!

    Any chance that your starting weight is somehow recorded as 3lbs lighter?

    Go to MY HOME/CHECK IN/EDIT PREVIOUS ENTRIES and make sure that the previous entries are accurate. If not, you can delete and add corrected information there.

    Thank you! I think I got it figured out. I forgot that when I started out I weighed myself on 2 different scales (the one at work and the one at home.) I forgot to delete one. I ended up picking the weight shown on my scale at home since I use that one the most. Thanks again, I will get use to navigating this site :)
