So i find it really interesting.. Yesterday for example.. i was 287.8 and today i weigh myself and im 287.2...but when i enter the new number into my ticker..my ticker tells me that im another pound down....So i dont get it? Are you supposed to look at the number in terms of whole pounds ???? or does it not equate partial pounds?

Maybe the ticker was rounding up at .8 and now it's rounding down at .2?

Bingo. That's what the ticker here on 3FC does; it rounds to the nearest pound. If it's under .5, it'll round down...but if it's .5 or over, it'll round up.

I got a ticker at Tickerfactory.com and it counts partial pounds too.
Mine says 162.4. 13.2 pounds lost. I think that is better
