MyFitnessPal bug is getting to me....

OK, this is truly a very minor rant, but I wanted to say it anyway.

I have lost nearly 75 lbs since I started keeping track on MFP in May, but it keeps telling me I have only lost 37 on my home screen????. When I look at the progress screen for six months it has it right, but when it posts updates and milestones it is just off. This is the info it shares with my friends on MFP. I am sure it has to do with an old weight I put in several years ago while doing another dieting phase, but it really bugs me to get the notices congratulating me for only half my weight loss. Can't figure out how to fix it.

Like I said, a minor rant. I know how much I have lost, how good I am looking in clothes, and how great I feel. I don't need MFP to validate me, just miffed it can't seem to do simple math. ????

Under the "check-in" tab you can edit previous entries including your starting weight.

MFP lies to me all the time. It tells me "If I keep eating like the way I did today, I'll weigh xx amount in 5 weeks!"

I have never hit the amount it saId I would in 5 weeks. LIES!!

Yes, under the check in tab is where I found it too. But, I had to log in on via the web, I couldn't find the check in tab on the app.

FItbit and the app I use to track my food, Lifesum both change my weight to like XXX.9. I dunno if they are converting LB to kilos and back to pounds and that is creating it but it annoys the heck out me. The only app that keeps it exact is S Health

Unless you zeroed it out before you started using it post-op, it won't rest. It's counting that previous weight loss. I did the same thing. Mine is 2 - 3 lbs off. I supposed you could try email admin, but honestly I just ignore it. The correct weight loss is on here and on my polar flow app. so I just shrug it off.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
