How can I update my Start Weight?

If you are returning to Lifesum after some time or simply entered the wrong weight at sign up and want to change the Start Weight, you can do so in the app in a couple of different ways.

Please note that it is the weight that you enter when you create your Lifesum account or when you use the feature "Change Goal" under your Personal Details that sets your Start Weight in Lifesum.

How can I update my Start Weight?

There are a few different ways you can update your start weight in Lifesum.

Set a new goal in Lifesum. If you set a new overall goal in Lifesum your start weight will update to the weight that you enter in this process, here is how you do it:

Go to your Profile.
Press Personal Details.
Press Change Goal.
Follow the rest of the steps.

Change your oldest weight entry. If you do not want to change your current goal in Lifesum you can change your start weight by editing your oldest weight entry in Lifesum. Here is how it works:

Go to the Progress tab.
Locate and press Body Measurements.
Press Track Body Measurements.
Tap on Current in the weight section.
Go to your oldest weight entries and either edit that entry or delete all entries up until today's date.

Get in touch with the support team. Here is what you can do:

Reach out to our Support Team either via email or via the in app chat function.
Provide the start weight you would like to have set in the app.

If you delete a weight entry on a past date you cannot add a new entry on that date. So if you delete your first weight entry, the next weight entry will automatically become your start weight.
