Thank you in advance

    It's got to be done from the website, not the app. I think it's in profile. Hope that helps!

    ​Please see this article, and search for other helpful articles, on the MFP Help pages...

    You must use the Web version, not the mobile apps, to update your starting weight or edit previous entries. On your mobile device, you can use the Web browser and request to load the desktop site.

    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, which is used to calculate your overall loss (or gain).

    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.

    Thank you alicia1974
    CyberTone, thank you for all of your great suggestions. I'll follow them. I use a desk computer, so I'm only on the web. No apps.

    Just delete the weight from your progress log and update it with your real weight.
