MFP has me totaling lower than the number I have lost, why? Initial weight minus current weight would be total lost right?

    MFP rounds to the nearest whole number. As soon as it ticks over .5, it goes to the next number. For example, it had me as having lost 10kg when I got to 9.6kg lost.

    It did that to me one day. I had lost about 26lbs and it said 18lbs. I logged out and back in and it fixed itself.

    Okay my mine would be 15 loss and it says 11.5? Like a solid 15. Just so weird.

    Is this not your first rodeo? You may need to adjust your start weight.

    What do you mean by that? My starting weight is the weight I started at - which is 15 greater than the weight I entered yesterday. But MFP told me it was only an 11.5 loss which is not true. It computed the two numbers wrong. (But I entered them right) I logged back in like mentioned above and it fix it.
