in Health and Weight Loss
I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but I've been logging my calorie intake and recording my macro nutrients each day etc... while adding in exercise, water and weight. Now the graph under 'Progress' shows a negative correlation (Through weight loss), yet on my profile, it says '0lbs lost'? Any ideas?

Cheers

    I think that's a MFP glitch. For a long time my phone profile would not change from 14lbs lost! and I had really lost 35.

    Is there an error in your starting weight? I'd look through your profile settings and make sure everything is accurate. If it's on the app, delete it and download it again. When I first started MFP, the mobile app crashed my entire phone operating system. I don't use it very much anymore.

    My starting weight was correct and it calculated my daily calorie intake etc... Everything seems to right, except it saying I've lost nothing. Reinstalling the app could potentially fix it, but I don't wanna lose my current progress. Is data backed up to the cloud?

    Hmm seems strange. At least yours proves it can work, can't see any settings or options to edit on the profile. Just my current weight that affects the progress graph.

    You must use the Web version, not the mobile apps, to update your starting weight.

    Navigate to APPS > Tickers > Update your weight data. Enter your desired starting weight and click Save Changes. That will update the oldest date/weight in your profile.

    Alternately, navigate to MY HOME > Check-in > Edit Previous Entries.
    a. Enter a new value in the Starting Weight text box and click Change; or
    b. Scroll down and click on the highest page number to take you to the oldest date/weight entry. Once you find your oldest date/weight entry, under Add New Entry, enter the new date/weight and click Add New Entry. That will replace the oldest date/weight with your new one.
    c. If you want to keep all of your historical data, Add New Entry at least one day older than the oldest date/weight.

    Thanks for this post, my weight loss has shown "0" even though I logged 2 lbs lost two weeks ago. I'm going to use my computer to record my starting weight now and see if it works.

    Mine did this on the phone app for awhile, but it shows up on the computer.

    Perfect! Worked straight away, I updated it via the browser version and it now shows my weight loss and what I have left to lose to reach my goal. It also updated on the mobile app.

    Thanks
