    I am curious to know the answer to that also as I lost 14lbs before starting MFP.

    Just increase your starting weight and then tomorrow you can log your current weight. :)

    When entering your current weight, just put the weight you were before.

    I had lost weight before starting this program. I back dated all my information - it was a pain - but worth it to see the progress I've made. Congrats on the weight loss.

    Wait, found a better way!

    My Home -> Weigh in (towards the left of the page) -> Edit Previous Entries -> Put in your original weight and original start weight.
