I have not been able to find this answer, so apologies if it has been dealt with.

I see the progress report that shows the chart.
And i see the daily summary that say 1 lost for example. (is this per day?, last weigh in? week?

where can I see how much I have lost so far? thank you

    Could you clarify whether you are looking at the app or the website and also where you are seeing the figure lost?

    On the site, it's under Reports, it will show you a graph of various time lines.

    You may find it beneficial to enter a starting weight from a year ago, otherwise the chart will look odd. You can add entries there via My Home -> Check In -> Edit Previous Entries.

    The amount lost so far will be based on the first weight you entered, which you can review under My Home -> Goals -> Guided Setup.

    Thank you everyone.


    The graph is the only way to keep a running loss on the site?! That seems odd and frustrating. I mean, I am here to lose some weight and I would love to be able to see "6 lost so far" or " 2 lost this week>

    charmeth I use both the site and my iphone. On the site in daily summary, it says "1 lost". I cannot tell if its daily, weekly or since last update. it seems incorrect.

    Bur you gave me a good idea to check iphone, and under progress loss so far, is there

    The daily summary number is total loss. Check what you have as your starting weight if you think it's wrong.

    I have the Android app, not the iPhone app, so it might be different for you.
    But I can see my progress under the Me tab:

    On the website go to My Home and it is under your profile pic. It shows how much lost to date. If you gain and enter your weight daily or weekly in check in then it changes up and down in line with your entry. We used to have trackers on your profile page that showed your loss but they were disabled and have never been restored.

    Manderson- thanks. That's where I am going- under my profile in home. It shows random incorrect numbers daily like 2 lost, then 0, then 1, then 0... I have lost 4 and it is so frustrating to not see it.

    The pounds lost is your most recent weigh-in compared to whatever you have listed as your most recent starting weight. It is also rounded to a whole number.

    If your most recent weigh-in is higher than your most recent starting weight, and your goal is weight loss, it will show 0 pounds lost.

    So double check that your “Starting weight” and most recent weigh-in are 4 pounds apart.

    Duck- yes- they are! I am new here, so being very "good". I lost 4, and logged in today at 4 fewer than I started. I know another member was having issues- could it be a glitch, and if so, how to contact MFP? I keep getting routed to FAQs
