edited September 2016 in Introduce Yourself
Signed up a while ago n guessed my weight.Been walking loads n finally today weighed myself as other half said I'd lost weight and HORRORS! I weighed exactly what Id put down as my starting weight - SO I've either lost nothing after all the effort OR I was about 6lbs heavier than I estimated. Can I edit starting weight?

    Sounds like you just estimated your starting weight? You didn't actually step on a scale before you logged your weight? If that's not the case read on.
    Try measuring yourself. For example. My scale is up 3 lbs for the last week ...but my inches are down. Sometimes... especially depending on that time of the month we can put on water weight

    Thanks - I need to get my head round beginning logging it all again now rather than getting disheartened n throwing in the towel!

    You can edit your starting weight in your settings, http://www.myfitnesspal.com/measurements/check_in, but why not just use this weight as your start, since you were guessing at first.

    Keep it going.

    It happens. This is a marathon, not a sprint. we hit a wall and just climb over.
    You can do it!! Keep up the hard work!!
