Can anybody tell me how to change the little weight tracker thing so that it will show when I originally started losing weight, like before I started MFP? Also, can anyone tell me how to log my exercise when I work?

    Click the Apps tab at the top of the page, scroll down to the Tickers button on the right hand side, click the link and you can change your weight data.

    As for logging exercise when you work - do you exercise on the job, like running at lunch or something, or are you talking about logging work as exercise? If it's the latter, I would add work into your activity level in your settings rather than as separate exercise.

    I work with kids so I'm constantly picking them up and walking and whatnot. I'm on my feet all day.

    Then you should change your activity level, not add it as exercise.

    Okay. I did that already. Thank you, both of you. I really appreciate it.

    There is an exercise app for walking with a 15 lb. load. I don't see why you couldn't Google the average weight of the kids and multiply by the amount of time you think you walk while carrying them?

    I meant get the calories expended by carrying the average weight...

    I don't really carry them. I just pick them up. I work at a little amusement park for kids where I have to help put them in the seats and stuff.
