I started dieting before I started using this app and I used the weight for the day I started w the app. I would like to put in my starting date of dieting for better motivation. Thanks sanni

    Just found it:

    -Check in (on the home screen)
    -Edit previous entries (right above the save button on that page)
    -Change the starting weight (at the top of the page)

    Thanks stefie_g sadly my home page does not have an area that says check in. I am using the free version. My homepage is mostly ads for blogs. Are u using the paid version?

    I have the free version also, go to settings click on update diet/fitness profile and you can change it there....

    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.
