    Are you using another device or app that syncs your weight or are you entering it manually into MFP?

    Have you used the app before, when you weighed less than you do now? The app counts weight lost from your first-ever starting weight, unless you manually set your starting weight to be something else, like the weight you were when you started logging again. So, if you used the app previously, quit, gained some weight, and started again, the app still counts your weight loss from your original starting weight.

    Please tell the forum the solution in case someone else has the same problem.

    I had to go to More,
    Settings
    Profile
    Goals
    Then I had to update my starting weight, and my current weight ( I had previously used the app a few years ago and never changed it to my start weight this time around)
    These are the steps if you are using an iPhone. I'm unsure if this would be the same through an android phone or through the website.
