Not Tracking Total Weight Lost

I have noticed that MFP will write a status saying that I've lost so many pounds since my last weigh in, but it's not doing total weight lost. I've seen it track total weight lost on other people's profiles though ( so and so has lost .6 pounds since their last weigh in. They've lost a total of 73.6 pounds). Is this a premium feature, or a setting that I need to change? Please help! Thanks in advance!

Mine does the x lost and total so far and I'm not premium. As far as I can tell you can only set the sharing to post when you lose weight or not, it's not any more detailed than that. Are you under what you put as your starting weight?1

MFP calculates and displays total weight lost using your recorded starting weight. If your current weight is higher than your starting weight, it will not include that part in the news card posted to your news feed.
Please see this article, and search for answers to Frequently Asked Questions and other helpful articles, on the MFP Help/FAQ pages...

That must be what it is because I gained a lot of weight since I've started. Thank you both! 0

The good thing is that I'm now at my starting weight, so it will update. Thank you both again! 0
