Do I start again? :/

Not sure If i'm happy, sad or just embaressed. My boyfriend just watched me weight myself and to my delight I have lost a bit of weight however.. when we worked out exactly how much I weigh in pounds, it only came to just over 190lbs.. much less than I have previously 'worked out' :S I thought I was 195lbs.
I don't know what mistake I was making before (I know, it's not exactly hard) but I thought I was closer to 200lbs, not 190lbs. I started at 203lbs and I have definitely lost 10 lbs.. just obviously not within the time I've been on MFP. I kind of feel like I've cheated..
So yeah, do I start again? Is there any way to change your start weight?

It is silly, but I can so relate. I bought a new scale in the middle that was higher than my old scale, so there are 5 pounds I lost twice. And it really bugged me because I HAD lost 23 pounds and suddenly it seemed like I only lost 18.
Yes, you can change it. If you go under you weigh in, you'll see something that says 'edit old entry' or something like that. You can change your start weight there.0 -
