Have you noticed a problem with the weight tracker on FS?

I noticed two strange errors:
(1) When I post a comment on a forum, it includes my weight timeline in my signature (which I want it to do), but the weight is not up-to-date... it's from two weeks ago!
(2) When I go to my profile, it shows that I'm gaining 19.6 pounds/week (no way!) when in fact I'm losing 2-3 pounds per week.
Anyone know how to make this accurate and restore balance to the Force?

Go to "My Signature" which is located in your toolbox. It gives you an option to check box or not!

I don't know why your ticker is not up-to-date, but the reason why it shows that you're gaining 19.6 pounds a week is because yesterday you logged your weight as 209.3, and now today you logged it as 212.1, so according to FS, you just gained 2.8 pounds in 1 day, which would equal 19.6 pounds gained in a week if you kept that up for 7 days.. We all know it's just fluctuations, but that's how FS seems to be set up to calculate your gain/loss trends.. Don't worry about that.
Someone who is busier than you is working out right now.
There will come a day when you can no longer do this. Today is

Thanks, both of you! I tried deleting and then re-adding my ticker, but it still shows 215 when I am at 209. Rats!

Don't obsess over it. Your weight doesn't go up just because FatSecret displays it incorrectly.

The ticker is only updated when you enter your weight on the website via a pc, the app has a bug so the updates via mobile are not registered on the ticker (at least that is what I found out with mine)

ECO Atkins for a skinny vegetarian with a belly
This would be a good question for the nutritionist over on the atkins.com boards. Colette Heimowitz is her name. Post your question with her name in the title and she will respond.
