I weighed 283 when I joined MFP ... 6 months before I was 303 and lost about 20 within a couple months and just basically hung out there for a few months until finding this site.

So should I go back and alter my beginning weight to 303? Or leave it as it was when I actually joined the site.

    Do a weigh in with the original weight with a prior date then do your current weight with the current date. The weight loss will show on you ticker.It worked for me :-)

    When i joined, i had already lost some weight too. But I put my highest weight. I had gained a little bit, so its nice to see that im still not as big as i was even after gaining a few back. :-) It doesnt hurt anything! :-)

    Thanks everyone ... I went ahead and did this.

    If you would like to, here's what I found as the quickest way:

    Go to "Weigh-In" from main page.
    Then click on "Edit previous entries" below weight/measurement fields.
    At the bottom of the next page are some fields where you can enter any weight and any date manually. I have to admit it's nice to see the TOTAL progress over the past 7 months now. :smile:
