hello!
i am trying to get my pounds lost to show accurately. since first creating my MFP account years ago, my weight has fluctuated significantly. most recently, i was at my highest weight ever and this is where i want the pounds lost to start - but it appears to be pulling from an older starting weight.
how can i change this? right now, it says '3lbs lost' but that should be 12. help?!
also - sorry as i'm sure this is in the wrong category, but the board says i don't have permission to post under technical issues.
thanks

If you click on 'check in' there is a button to edit past entries. You can go in a set your start weight as your more recent starting weight. It can make your long term graph look a little strange as there will be a sudden change but it is much more motivating to see how much you have actually lost in your feed.0
