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.
