So I have been wondering why, since I have lost 2.4 lbs... my little ticker is not moving.. and I realized it may be because when I started a few months back I started out weighing less then I did now.. :( could that be a reason? And how do I change it?

Thanks!!

    yes the ticker uses your original starting weight as the 0 lbs lost point. If you are higher than your starting weight the ticker won't move.

    your ticker won't move as you have gained weight from your original start point. Once past that point your ticker will start to move again along with the losses.

    It may be that you just can't see the movement yet. The star that you have as the marker is pretty big, it could easily cover up a 2.4 pound change. You can change the design of your ticker by going to your profile and clicking on "personalize ticker." You can change your initial weight by going to "check in", hitting "edit previous entries", and changing your starting weight at the top of the page.

    You can change your start weight!! Under the APPS tab, click on the little Ticker link. In there you can change your weight info. It has current weight, start weight, and goal weight I believe.
