    Mine too! Very frustrating. I've tried adjusting the time line to show only last two months etc but still shows only 3lbs when I've lost 6?!

    You have to go on your pc and change it. There are directions in the faq section.

    On a PC go to home->Check-In-> and at the bottom of the chart it says "edit previous entries" click that and you can delete your old entries

    Somewhere in there you can change your starting weight in your profile. I can't find it but I know it's there because I've done it each time I've started over!

    You have to go in and manually change the previous entries.

    ^What they said. What I did was go to "edit previous entries" and adjust my very first entry to my starting weight two weeks ago (even though that was not my weight at that time). Since MFP compares with your very first entry, that's how the ticker counts. Good luck! :) Congrats on dropping some lbs! :)

    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.
