    Does anyone know how to edit the total amount of weight loss on
    the profile page? Mine is not right!

      That number is derived from your starting weight and your current weight. If one of those two is wrong you can edited them on the weigh in page.

      It says starting weight 233 and now I'm 219 but it only says 3 lbd lost.

      Hmm, not sure. If your starting weight and current weight are definitely correct maybe try asking on the technical help forum.

      Is this the first time you've used MFP? If you had a different starting weight before the total weight loss can be from that point.

      You can edit weight as well as edit previous entries.

      But as said above if you have gained somewhere along the way it won't count from gain.

      Possibly it's saying 3 lbs lost since LAST weigh in, not total weight lost?

      Also, besides making sure the starting weight is right, look at how long its looking back- example: one month, two months, all. If its one month, itll have a different starting weight.

      I haven't gained. I've tried to edit it but won't let me. I'll have to contact support team or something. Thanks guys!

      I think this has already been suggested, but have you tried going to Apps -> Ticker -> "Update your weight data" ? My weight was right everywhere else but the ticker was incorrect from a previous MFP attempt, so it had the wrong starting weight.
