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)0 -
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?0

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.0 -
