Changing diary settings

edited February 26 in Goal: Maintaining Weight
So, when I hit my goal, and switch my tracking/diary settings to "maintain" -- is it going to be retroactive? As in, will all my PAST diary days have those new calorie/fat/sugar goal numbers on them, and hence look really wrong and askew....or will the change only take effect on the day I do it and forward? I'm afraid to experiment to see if things go backwards.

    No, when I reset my goal to "Maintain" it did not change my previous diary entries. I just went back and double-checked to make sure.:flowerforyou:

    It doesn't change your diary entries, but it will change your goal for those entries, so you will likely see a lot more calories leftover :)

    Well, that's annoying. Thank you, all.

    Yes, it's really annoying. It's also really annoying that you hit all your calorie goals, lose weight, lose calories, and now it looks like you were over all the time.
