I was wondering I had lost 10 pounds before starting My Fitness Pal is there any settings to change so my account reflects that??

    Yes you can: I just did it this morning actually. Go to the App- and then click the "more" icon, and then go to goals and change your current weight.

    Doing that will change your calorie / macro goals too though. The alternative is to put it into your "Check-In" which will keep track of your weight loss but won't change your goals.

    I do both...as everyone will need to eventually when they lose enough that their current calorie / macro goals stall out due to good performance.

    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.
    c. If you want to keep all of your historical data, Add New Entry at least one day older than the oldest date/weight.
