I first signed up for MFP in 2013 and entered my starting weight at that time. I never used the program and now I need to update my starting weight since it changed from when I actually began using this. I can't find the setting anywhere. Anyone know how to do this? thanks

    Sorry, I don't have any answer but I need to know as well. Just tagging along for the answer (;
  • I couldn't figure it out either and it's frustrating!

    Hope this link helps - it links to the MFP "help desk." One of my friends said it worked for her when she wanted to change her starting weight. Good luck! myfitnesspal.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/10592-how-do-i-change-my-starting-weight-or-edit-incorrect-weight-entries-

    go to "check in", "edit previous entries" at the bottom of the screen "add new entry" add the correct starting weight at an earlier date than previous starting weight.

    You must use the Web version, not the mobile apps, to update your starting weight.

    Navigate to APPS > Tickers > Update your weight data. Enter your desired starting weight and click Save Changes. That will update the oldest date/weight in your profile.

    Alternately, navigate to MY HOME > Check-in > Edit Previous Entries.
    a. Enter a new value in the Starting Weight text box and click Change; or
    b. Scroll down and click on the highest page number to take you to the oldest date/weight entry. Once you find your oldest date/weight entry, under Add New Entry, enter the new date/weight and click Add New Entry. That will replace the oldest date/weight with your new one.
