Why My Journey weight stats may differ from Dashboard and Weight Details

Modified on Wed, 17 Jun at 8:58 AM

Summary

My Journey and Dashboard / Weight Details can show different current weight, total lost, and BMI even though they use the same starting weight. That is expected: My Journey ties the big weight card to the progress photo you are viewing, while Dashboard and Weight Details always show your most recent weigh-in.


What each screen shows

ScreenCurrent weightTotal lost
Dashboard (weight card)
Your latest weigh-in
Change over the selected time period (e.g. last 7 days, 30 days)
Weight Details
Your latest weigh-in
Total change since your journey starting weight
My Journey (large weight card)
Weight snapshotted when that photo was taken
Change from starting weight to that photo’s weight
My Journey → Journey Stats → Starting Weight
Same journey starting weight as Weight Details

Why My Journey can look “behind”

When you take a progress photo, Pokii saves the weight that was nearest to that photo’s date. That value is stored with the photo and does not update when you log new weights later.

So if you:

  1. Took a progress photo when you weighed 190.3 lb, and
  2. Later logged or synced a new weight of 186.6 lb,

then:

  • Dashboard and Weight Details will show 186.6 lb and your full total lost (e.g. −27.2 lb).
  • My Journey will still show 190.3 lb and −23.5 lb lost for that photo, because those numbers reflect when the photo was taken, not today.

The difference between the two (in this example, 3.7 lb) is simply weight you lost after your most recent progress photo.


Why it works this way

My Journey is a visual timeline. When you swipe through progress photos, the weight and “lost” numbers are meant to match that day’s photo, not always today’s scale reading. That lets you see how your stats looked at each point in your journey.

The Journey Stats section below (Starting Weight, Days Tracked, etc.) still uses your overall journey data, which is why Starting Weight matches Weight Details even when the large card does not.


How to check

  1. Open My Journey and look at the date under the photo carousel — it may be earlier than your latest weigh-in.
  2. Swipe to older photos — weight and total lost should change to match each photo’s date.
  3. If you have no progress photos yet, My Journey uses your latest weigh-in and should match Weight Details.

Quick reference

You see…Likely reason
My Journey weight higher than Dashboard
Your latest weigh-in is newer than your most recent progress photo
My Journey “lost” less than Weight Details
Same as above — photo snapshot is from an earlier point in your journey
Starting Weight matches but other numbers don’t
Expected — starting weight is journey-wide; the big card is photo-specific
Dashboard “lost” changes when you change timeframe
Normal — Dashboard shows change for the selected period, not always total journey loss
