Why is MyFitnessPal auto-logging my weight?

I weigh myself every day but only check it in to mfp once a week. And I have been losing weight, finally. But I'm finding that it's auto-logging my weight every day as a higher number. So it's like: Wednesday - 179; rest of the week my starting weight, so it looks all jagged. looking at it just annoys me! anyone know why this happens?

    Are you logging your weight into a fitness tracker connected to MFP?

    Mine has done the same thing! I had to delete some random entries. I don't enter my weight into anywhere else but MFP. I also only weigh myself once a week.

    Mine is doing the same thing once or more a week. I don't enter my weight in anything but MFP but it continues to auto add (usually my last weight) which I have to keep deleting (this also causes it to show up in Garmin Connect, and I have to delete it from there as well).

    The system seems to be very glitchy this week. Mine isn't adjusting my weight, but it's been upping my "Calories Burned" repeatedly throughout the day as though I was changing my activity level every few hours. It's annoying. I have a fitbit, I'm not logging exercise and yet there it goes. My calculator is getting a lot of traffic this week as a result. Not trusting MFP.

    Withings scale or another one with bluetooth

    logging your weight into something else you've synched

    I like logging fluctuations as it helps me work out what my body's doing and get less obsessed with minor scale movements (3-5lbs)
