Does anyone know why it always says 0lbs lost when I log in, or open the app?

My fitbit app says I've lost 6lbs since may 23.... And the data from that syncs to mfp automatically!

    When I used my Fitbit I always had problems with the syncing between it and MFP.

    Well it seems to have synced the data... The scales are WiFi and my weight is uploaded to mfp each day.

    It just displays 0lbs lost.

    Not the end of the world, I know! Still irritating tho

    Try entering it manually into MFP instead of letting it sync and see if that works.

    I had this problem for a while, and it took me a bit to figure it out - I had older, lower weights logged from when I had used MFP in the past.

    When you go to record your weight, there's a link that says "edit previous entries". If you have any really old ones from weights lower than your current weight, delete them.

    I'd check the starting weight you entered when you created your profile. Your ticker won't show any change until you are below that number.

    Ah. That was it. I had on old, really low weight of 130lbs from ages ago, that I'll never get down to again (and never want to!)

    I deleted that and now it shows weight lost!

    Thank you!!!!!
