How do I change my starting weight?

Options
hi everyone, I have had my fitness pal for 3 years now. I didn't use it for about a year and I gained 36 pounds. Yikes. So now I want to reset my starting weight to match what it is now so I can feel like I'm losing weight instead of my profile saying I've lost 0 pounds. Hopefully this makes sense, but can anyone help?

    Go to Check-in, Click on Edit Previous Entries and you'll have an option on the top to change starting weight.

    You must use the Web version, not the mobile apps, to update your starting weight or edit previous entries.

    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
