Have more to lose than I thought :(

Loudmom01

I didnt weigh myself before starting this website a few weeks ago. Now I know I should have. I weigh 5 lbs more than I thought. Not too bad I know but it adds 5 lbs I need to lose. And I only have a short time to reach goal to begin with.

Question: how do I change how many pounds I need to lose on my ticker? I could not figure it out.

Go to home > goals > change goals, and you can enter a new starting weight. That should update your ticker.

And, I know the feeling. I had previously lost 7 pounds on here and then the holidays hit and I knew I gained a few back. I re-weighed myself expecting to only have gained a few pounds... turns out I gained back ALL the weight I had lost. Every pound. So now I'm starting all over.

It sucks, but we learn from these mistakes and we'll be healthy in no time!

Sorry, double post!

Just some perspective...when I weighed myself at the beginning, I weighed TWENTY pounds more than I thought. Yikes. No matter where you start, though, you can always do it!

Thanks for replies. Glad to know I am not the only one. And 5 lbs only puts me a couple weeks off my goal so I need to try and think positively.
