Add new goal weight without overriding the last one.

Sometimes when you start losing weight, you create a small goal weight.  Once you reach it, you add a new goal weight.  It sucks when you create the new goal - and that overrides your last one.  So instead of seeing ALL the progress made, you see the new one.  I have lost 50 pounds and my Fitbit shows I've lost 5 because I created a new goal?  People like to see their progress.  Create a feature to show new goals or additional goals - don't get rid of a SUCCESSFUL goal because a person creates a new goal!

I like this idea, although this is common sense and should have been how this functioned by default. I’m baffled how hard it is to change a goal weight or start a new one and erase the old.

Nice suggestion, thanks for sharing. We look forward to hearing what other community members think about seeing the previous goals when you create a a new weight goal.

It can be edited and reset but it's a real pain in the butt... had to do it to mine, too. 

 

You should be able to change the weight goal and your calorie deficit without resetting the entire weight loss system.

Being able to change your goal weight without erasing your progress should be a basic capability. I just don't get it. You lose tons of weight then you say, "Gee, I'm ready to get a little lower." And you start back at 0?!? What? That's crazy.

I agree!

I asked for this a few years ago- no luck yet....

I would like to see this change also.  I have lost 30 lbs, after I was doing well I thought I would make my new goal even lower and now it shows I have only lost 5 lbs. 😞  That makes it frustrating when I would like to see my progress at 30 lbs.
