Need feedback on whether to reset my starting weight

Hi,
I'm considering resetting my starting weight, and looking for feedback.

I started at 309 pounds in 2014, lost about 70 pounds by 2015, plateau-ed awhile and gained back about 20 in the past 2 years. I still exercise regularly, have logged 600+ consecutive days, but old foods (beer, etc.) have found their way back in :( ).
I like knowing that I am still quite below that starting weight, but wonder whether I need to wipe the slate and enter my current weight to energize/motivate myself to get back to making progress to a new goal.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
MikeB

    Im the same in that this time last year I was 110kg! Lost 9kg thanks to a trip overseas (lots of walking and not eating as much). I used that start weight on here but then changed it later on to the weight I was the first day I logged in. Just cause I have more of a weightloss timeline. Its just personal preference. If you want to use that starting weight then do it :)

    Edit: Congrats on that weightloss by the way!
