Back again! Need some help with settings...

So Im not a newbie to myfitnesspal, I have successfully used the app in the past but that was years ago. The pounds have snuck back. Anyone know how to restart my initial weight, as im using the same account I had years ago. It's awful depressing to see my old initial weight and it just shows me as being up even when I put in a lower than my current weight.

Would also love some people to add for some encouragement and accountability! Im a 28 yo female hoping to lose about 30lbs in a healthy way. I know I can do it, because I've done it before but I would like those pounds to not sneak back this time!

You must use the Web version, not the mobile apps, to update your starting weight or edit previous entries. On your mobile device, you can use the Web browser and request to load the desktop site.

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, which is used to calculate your overall loss (or gain).

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.

c. If you want to keep all of your historical data, Add New Entry at least one day older than the oldest date/weight, , since any weight loss or gain calculations use the oldest date/weight.
