    Yikes!! I think you need to go to your profile section and make sure you entered your height and weight correctly.

    Umm... something's is messed up. Go to your profile and make sure all of your information (weight, age, activity level...) are all correct.

    I'm confused too....either what you just wrote was a typo, or you have the intention of GAINING an ENORMOUS AM'T OF WEIGHT?

    Most portions are based on a 2, 000 (2 Thousand, not 20 thousand) calorie daily food intake.

    If you checked your profile (under Settings, Update Diet/Fitness Profile) and the info there is correct, you likely entered your exercise and/or food incorrectly. Go back and check those as well.

    Log into MFP on you computer

    Click "Goals" under the "My Home" tab.

    Scroll down, click "CHANGE GOALS"

    "Guided" should already be selected. Go ahead and hit "CONTINUE"

    Enter your data as accurately as possible.

    Go ahead and click "UPDATE PROFILE"

    You should* be all set after that. Hope it helps

    Correct your name, I don't think "population of Bangladesh" is listed there.

    Maybe it's logging you in actual calories, instead of kilocalories... or perhaps joules.

    I had something similar happen it showed that I had lost 204 pounds????? That means it would have lost a more than I weigh all together, I contacted them. They ask for my sign in name and corrected the situation. That was several weeks ago, so far so good.
    Just contact them they reply very promptly.

    Hope you know we're laughing WITH you over this, not AT you...

    When I signed up 4 months ago, I put in all my info.
    I got a message saying at the rate I would go, I could expect to weigh 170 something by the next month.
    I dang neared croaked.......that was like 10 pound MORE.....
    All I could think was, "GREAT...even these guys don't think I can do this......."
    I went back and realized I'd selected that I wanted to GAIN 2 lbs. a week , not LOSE....
    Whew.....got it fixed and started my journey with a renewed sense of encouragement.

    Just thought I'd share my own goof up at the start to give you a good chuckle too.......
