Should I start at my post baby weight?

Hello MFP peeps!

I have a question. Should I start out my ticker with when I came home from the hospital (230) or when I started using MFP (174)?

I know which one would look better, but is that fair?

    Mine is when I started losing, I don't know what's fair but I have it there to remind me of how far I've come.

    This is true. I ended up gaining 85 pounds during my pregnancy, so I have come along way too.

    I would put it were you are now. That way you can track it.

    I would go from post baby weight, but I see a lot of people on MFP only start their ticker for their weight when they joined up.
    I say give credit where credit is due!! You got to 174 on your own, you deserve to flaunt it!

    I do want to flaunt it!!! I worked hard to get the first 56 pounds off and then 21 pounds have been shed since this January. I will think on it!
    Thanks for all of everyones feed back!
