Reports and Graphs help needed

I started my new eating plan two weeks before I found MFP. Is there a way to back date my weight loss graph to accurately show my loss from the beginning of my diet rather than when I started using MFP?

If you are using the web version only (no mobile app), then it might be a good idea if you backdate your starting weight by exactly one year from your actual starting date - which you can do. The reason being that the weight chart can display up to 1 year of weights; however, if any data point within that year is zero, the chart will be very skewed, since you will have a starting line of zero that then jumps way up to your current weight. When that happens, the weight trend line will look very flat.

On the Web version, the REPORTS > Charts and Reports > Weight report can show up to one year of data. A workaround to ensure all weight reports do not include a zero starting weight is to backdate your starting date/weight temporarily by one year.

Navigate to My Home > Check-In > Edit Previous Entries. Scroll to the bottom of the page and backdate your starting date/weight by exactly one year using the Add New Entry fields.

Thanks CyberTone, I'll see if I can find that. It'll sure help all my info to mesh.

Ha! Did it and it worked great. I not only was able to change the year but also reset it to my weigh in day of Sunday instead of Wednesday, the day I started with MFP. Thanks again!
