Adding weight lost prior to stating to use Myfitnesspal

caysnowman

I have been dieting for about a year before I started to use MFP and would like to enter the weight lost during this period. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

I was thinking of doing this myself. I would think u would put in ur old amount then like the next day update ur weight and put in ur new amount?

I made my starting weight what I weighed when I first started not what I weighed when I started MFP. So if you want to go that route and need to edit your weight, go the check in like you normally would, click on edit previous entries and you can change your first weight or you can add a new one for a date before you started at the bottom of that page as well.

Thanks jnhu72,

I tried initially to enter my pre MFP data in a mobile app. I don't think that is possible but the web site does have this option ( MY HOME > WEIGH IN > EDIT PREVIOUS DATA ). You can enter as much data as you want from what I could tell and it is displayed both on the web and mobile apps virtually immediately.

BTW, the EDIT PREVIOUS DATA selection is a bit hard to find initially. It is on the bottom of the default screen, below the three boxes for measurements..
