Postpartum Moms?

Hello everyone! I have a question about everyone's progress tickers. I was wondering what info other postpartum moms use for their tracker? After I had my daughter last summer I started with the weight that I was at the hospital when I was in labor. I didn't weigh myself for about a month after I had my daughter. During my pregnancy I gained 52lbs! I lost all of that pregnancy weight in 4 months. Over the last 8 months I've lost an additional 14lbs (which is what my tracker shows). I'm just wondering if I should use my weight from when I was in labor or not because I seriously worked my *kitten* off to lose those 52lbs (and the other 14lbs I lost!) Anyway, what does everyone else use as their starting weight?
