It's not tracking my weight loss I have lost over 5 pounds in 33 day's of tracking. When put in the weight loss it's not showing how much I have lost thus far. Any helping explaining how to fix it

Thanks
Ken

    If you're on the website you can go into the apps section followed by the ticker section and update your weight data there. It may just have the wrong starting weight or the phone app might not be registering what you're entering. I've had that happen.

    You most likely have to update your starting weight.

    ​Please see this article, and search for other helpful articles, on the MFP Help pages...

    You must use the Web version, not the mobile apps, to update your starting weight or edit previous entries. On your mobile device, you can use the Web browser and request to load the desktop site.

    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, which is used to calculate your overall loss (or gain).

    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.
