Do I just have to "ride the rollercoaster" to the end?

I first joined MFP in Spring 2012 it looks like, and I was about 9 months post partum and at a good weight *for me* to have just had a baby (about 15lbs below my pre-pregnancy weight).
Fast forward to Spring 2013 I was easily 25 lbs over that "starting weight" but not really serious about putting in the work to get the pounds off.
Fall 2013 I found a local walking group and picked up the momentum, my husband had also joined MFP and was on his way to losing 80lbs - so I logged back on and started tracking my food and exercise. Since then I've dropped a good 15 lbs and was wondering why my home page still said "0 lbs lost" - apparently it was because I'm still over my initial weight from when I first joined.
So my question is, without deleting that history from 2012 can I "reset my starting weight" to my heaviest from late last year, or am I forced to just not show any results of lbs lost until I get under that very first weight from two years ago? :ohwell:

** No I didn't have another baby since then, however at that time I was still nursing AND walking a mile daily to pump at work. After I stopped pumping at work I dropped that walking and unfortunately the awesome calorie burn I was getting from the walking and the pumping

You should be able to reset your starting check in weight there.
