So I just lost 4lbs (wooo!), but my little tracker still says "0lbs lost". Is there something I need to do? I already weighed in.

Ticker and badge on "my home" are "dumb tools" They compare nothing more than your start weight (first weight by calendar date) to your current weight to give you a loss.
SO if you started at: 150 gained to 160 and lost to 151... compared to your start weight you're still heavier than your start so there's no loss to report or 160 gained to 165 and lost to 155... compared to your start weight you're down 5 lbs not the 10 lbs from the new high. both are fixed by going to My home > check in > edit PREVIOUS entries go in there and you can either a) delete the original entries so you're only using your new high and losses from that point OR b) if you prefer to keep the original record backdate prior to the start weight (first weight by calendar date) and make a new entry that reflects your new high which could then be used to show your losses from the new high point.
