How to change your original weight?

I can't seem to figure out how to change my "starting" weight. I started out putting in a weight with all my clothes, shoes, watch, wallet on (was really ready to start this app but didn't have a way to weigh myself without clothes on).

Now I have my own scales at home and when I changed my weight, this site thinks I "lost" all that weight, which is incorrect.

Is there a way to do this without starting a new account?

Thanks!

    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.

    Thanks! Getting to this page worked. I instead just deleted that entry since it was way off, and I literally have no idea what my true weight was 2 weeks ago :( I can only assume I've lost 2 pounds due to following the rules and staying under my calorie intake, but since there is no evidence, I'm starting clean.
