HELP!!!!

I entered the wrong weight on my scale! I put 14 instead of 148 and now my graph looks ridiculous! Is there a way of going back and fixing it????

I'm not sure, but from what I hear if you change your diet to another diet, then come back to SBD, you can reset your goal. I've heard that the problem is that doing this resets your weight to what it is at present and you start over. So, this may be a solution if you don't mind starting from what your weight is today.

Nota bene: I haven't done this...

I actually did what information suggested a month or two ago. From what I can tell, when you do that the graph ignores your previous entries and just charts the current weight trend. Your previous weights will still show on the graph when you view your complete weight history, but the one you see on your "My fatsecret" page won't show that error. Your weight history also still shows your previous weigh ins. If you want to see an example, look at my fatsecret page, which only shows my weight loss for the past 2 months, then click on the complete weight history page so you can see the whole chart. It shows that I had a much heigher start weight than what is shown, it appears that I gained weight in my first week due to an inaccurate start weight, and continues from there. Hope that helps.

Thank you Information and Reeneejune. I appreciate you taking the time to help me out. I tried changing my diet and then switching back and it still shows the graph in error. I sent a message to the Fatsecret Contact and their reply was:

"We do not currently have a feature to enable members to back date their weight history. It is a feature we are looking to introduce soon which will enable you to "fix" your chart. We are sorry for this inconvenience and thank you for your patience."

I guess I'll just keep my chart from being viewed by others until I figure out how to fix it because I'm truly anal retentive and it bugs me to look at it. Hopefully they will be able to add this new feature soon. Thanks again!

Hmmm, I hope reneejune will see this but I'm thinking that you may have to make an entry using the new diet and maybe wait a day or something. Just speculating, but I wrote to customer support about something very similar some time ago and the answer I got was very similar to what reneejune posted. So, I'm pretty sure it should work for you if you do the switch in a manner that the system will respond.

I'll try it again

After a month or so your chart with shift to the left and that entry won't be visible anymore anyway. But changing your diet doesn't get rid of your old weigh-ins (you can see my chart for evidence) it just shifts your orange line down to your new start weight. Your only other option is to start a new profile. It would bother me too, but like I said, after a month or so your chart will shift and you won't see it anymore anyway.
