Resetting initial weight? Please help :)

Flyaway09

I used this a few years ago and was a little lighter and now after two years of nursing school I am starting again, but I weigh more now than I did back when I created my account. Is there any way to reset the initial weight so that every time I lose weight it will show me and my friends I've lost the pounds? It's going to be 10 more lbs before I get to show any achievement which is sort of sad.

I've looked all through the settings but I cannot find a place where I can change my "intial" weight. Would like to start from scratch to get that extra motivation when I see I've lost weight

Thanks!

Never mind! I finally found it hahaha I feel good about being able to start from scratch. I've got a long way to go but the pounds have been dropping since I started watching my calories again. Here's to being the best me I can be! ^_^

Where did you find it? My calories are lower than when I first started and it is still showing -9 lbs.
