Hi everyone! I just noticed that my starting weight is wrong and it's showing me gaining weight instead of losing (11lbs so far). How can I correct this?

    Mine too. It is saying I've lost 0lbs when I've actually lost 36lbs! I've checked my starting profile and that looks right so lost for ideas . I hope someone can tell how to sort it. :(

    You must use the Web version, not the mobile apps, to update your starting weight.

    Navigate to APPS > Tickers > Update your weight data. Enter your desired starting weight and click Save Changes. That will update the oldest date/weight in your profile.

    Alternately, navigate to MY HOME > Check-in > Edit Previous Entries.
    a. Enter a new value in the Starting Weight text box and click Change; or
    b. Scroll down and click on the highest page number to take you to the oldest date/weight entry. Once you find your oldest date/weight entry, under Add New Entry, enter the new date/weight and click Add New Entry. That will replace the oldest date/weight with your new one.

    On the computer now went to apps then tickers don't see update weight data.
  • I had to change mine on the web also, I don't recall how but it was through one of the headings on the top, I had googled how to change starting weight in my fitness pal and it gave me directions
