Hi, I started with a weight of 238lbs
now at about 215lbs
but it says I only lost 6lbs
is that calculated since last goal was set or is it because i was maintaining weight at 220 for about 2 months and lots of time passed?

It should show the difference between your most recently logged weight and the weight with the earliest date in your history.0

Found it,
in case anyone needs the instructions from another thread:
Once you've logged in, click "My Home", then "Check-in", then "Edit Previous Entries". On that page, you can delete weight entries, or add new entries for any date0
