Why is my thumb thing pointing down?

I lost five pounds since the last time I logged, and now my thumb is pointing down! Why?

You might be losing too fast. I lost almost 5 lbs in a week because I was sick and got a thumbs down until I slowed the weight lose down.

Perhaps you've lost too much too fast? 

Oh! That would make sense. Thanks everybody!

I lost 6lbs in my first week and my thumb pointed down too. I put on 1lb last week but it was still pointing up!

haha never noticed that the thumb changed direction b4!haha

I wish they'd scrap the "thumb" and give me a calorie deficit tracker. 

The same thing just happened to me! (that's how I found your post) I don't know why it's pointing down since my goal date has moved up significantly from Feb. 23 to Feb. 9 and my nutrition has been really good at a B+ average and I'm not under-eating by any means. I lost six pounds since my last weight logged on May 13th, which doesn't seem too drastic over a 3 week period. Very strange...

I'm still pumped about the 6 lb. loss-- it's great to see how counting calories and logging some time in at the gym will get you results.  Congrats on your 5 lb. loss as well!

I totally agree with you jodifer! I just ended up creating a spreadsheet on my computer so I can track my own calorie deficits.
