Okay I am utterly confused!!! When I first started MPF I weighed myself the more accurate way and I was 338. Now Today I weigh 321 which is awesome but if you calculate that its 17 lbs not 12lbs that MFP is tracking. So my question is where did the extra 5 lbs disappear to? And why did it disappear? Because to me just as well as most of you 5 lbs is a BIG deal!!!

    Is your thing set to Starting Weight: 338 ?

    If it's not change that, then check your Current Weight, is it at 321 ?

    If not change that. It should show your 17 pounds now. If all of that is correct, contact Mike or Steve ( mods ) and they should get that fix. Congrats BTW. :)

    I'm still fairly new to the site, but I think if you lose weight, gain weight and lose weight again, MFP gives your net weighloss. Did you record a weightgain for any of your check ins?

    What is the more accurate way to weigh yourself? And yes, definitely check your starting weight in your settings.

    Where do you find the starting weight? I need to change mine too, but I can only find current weight in the settings...

    EDIT: Nevermind! I think I found it! Its Under tools and then you have to click on the ticker and that's where I found it! :D

    Thanks I figured it out now I'm where I should be. When I set it up I didn't put in the correct weight! All is good now!!
