New here, a little confused about first weight input

I have been on MFP for less than a week...have lost a decent amount of weight before that. Am I supposed to put my "starting" weight from back then on here (a year ago)...or from a few days ago? I just put in the weight from a few days ago...how is that type of thing usually done...should I just use MFP as a new starting point then?

    Your choice. There is no 'rule' about it.

    When I started MFP in June 2012, I put my weight then, which was 214. I later changed it to my starting weight in January 2012, which was 238. I wanted to have all my weight loss reflected on MFP.

    Do you have any idea how to change it? Thanks for your help...

    Oh sorry just saw your response. How to change it:

    My home>Check-In>Edit Previous Entries...then just change your first weight entry :smile:
