Difficulties with resetting my weight goal

[life-spiral]

I'd had the same start weight and weight goal since early 2015--since that time I lost over 100 lbs. but hadn't ever reached my goal. I wanted to change it so that it was tracking what I've lost since the beginning of this year instead of since 2015, but instead I ended up with a whole new goal that shows that I've lost 0 lbs. I'm seriously hoping that there's a way to set it up so that my 1/1/21 weight is the beginning, and then it'll show my progress from there. Help?

Edit: I managed to sort of fix it so that it shows the right number of pounds lost, but the start date shows as today. I would really like to be able to have the correct start date show up.

It’s good to see you in the community, @life-spiral.

Thanks for the details shared in your post and for already trying to resolve the issue. I understand how you are feeling and I am glad to hear that you've managed to partially resolve it. Thank you for your time and efforts. Did you delete your weight goal in order to show the right number of pounds lost? If so, did you try to enter the correct start date during the process of setting up a new weight goal?

You can confirm the steps to change your goal in How do I set or change my other Fitbit goals?

Looking forward to your response.

Thank you for your reply! I have not been able to change the start date. I never saw a place to set that up while setting the weight goal, and I tried multiple times both on my phone and on the website dashboard. How specifically can I change the start date?
