I use the MFP App when I'm home and the online program while I'm at work... Last night, the app told me that I was under my calorie goal. I just looked at yesterday's and online it says that I was over 125 calories!! WTF?!?! I'm really doing my best here and it's hard enough as it is for me... why is the App trying to sabotage me?!?! :explode:

    You should check your app settings to make sure you are syncing all your changes. I use the app on my iPhone but also use the computer when I am at home or at work. There are times where is might be out of sync because my iPhone did not have a data connection at the time I entered the information (Stupid AT&T). But usually as soon as I get a connection, the update it made.

    Oh my gosh, nevermind everyone. It's because I lowered my calorie goals today. Why do they change even past dates calorie goal though? That makes no sense! :grumble:

    I think there is a problem with the program. Mine have been off by a few calories today too even after syncing.

    It's called....easier programming(than having it affect only certain diaries).

    Easier for them does not mean better for us. It's depressing to know you did well and then look back and be "told" that you didn't. Oh well, not letting it get to me! I know I was under my calorie goal that day!
