Starting yesterday, MFP does not allow me to enter weight recordings that aren't integers

So if my scale says I weigh 175.4 pounds, MFP won't let me enter it because it has a .4 at the end. It would say "Please select a valid value. the nearest valid values are 175 and 176."

WHY

That's dumb

Is this just their new dumb policy, or does anybody know a way to get around this?

    I just entered a weight with a decimal so seems like normal for me.

    Interesting -- thank you for the reply. I forgot to mention that I'm accessing MFP via my desktop browser, not using the phone app.

    This is what it shows for me after entering 176.6 and pressing enter.

    It only changed to this yesterday for me.

    Thank you goalweight135, i tried that and now it is letting me enter non-integer numbers. I hope it doesn't mess itself up again
