I am looking to reset my weight tracker. I had joined MFP years ago and was didn't have as much weight to lose. I recently started back up after the birth of my 3rd baby. Since I am heavier now than I was the last time I used the app it didn't recalculate my current weight to my goal so even though I am losing it is showing as 0 pounds lost. I enter my weight weekly and would like to reset my tracker to my heavier weight. It's not a big deal but would like to do this if possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! :)

    I had the same issue and the only way I got around it was to go back into the weight record and reset the first logged date to be my heaviest weight, or my new starting point. I realize this gives a bit of a skewed looking graph, but it does accurately display your overall progress. If there is a better way I'd love to know it!
