I've been on IP since late August, and I'm looking for an app where I can put in my weight in the past, rather than just starting from today. Anyone know of one?

Yes, but I can only record today's weight with myfitnesspal, not track my weight loss for this entire journey. Unless I'm not seeing it!

OMG ME TOO!!!!!! I've downloaded so many and none are able to do this which is so dumb!!!! If you end up finding one please post it here as will I.

Measurements would be nice to be able to back date as well.

Myfitnesspal lets you enter weights from the past. Go to "home" then "weigh-in" then "edit previous entries"and then "add new entry." You can past date weight ins. I did that when I joined Myfitnesspal about a month after starting IP.

You can back date measurements on myfitnesspal also. Just follow the directions in my post above, and change the "measurement to edit."

I use lose it.

Yep, myfitnesspal does that, as others have said. It's ticker goes by the first weight you entered by date, so it's not as accurate as it can be.

I really like WeightBot, though it doesn't do much besides just track your weight and (if you tilt your phone sideways) show you a graph over time toward your goal.

Hope you find something that works for you!

[carrieann3778]

for the myfitnesspal you need to do it online and not from your phone.

The one I'm using on my iPhone is Weight Diary. I went back months ago and put in my weights and it tracks it. It will also track your BMI and if you give it your goal weight and what date you would like to lose it by it will tell you how much weight you have to lose weekly and what calorie goal you need to set daily to achieve it. I really like it. Has a nice graph too!

Ok...somewhat similar question...I joined SP years ago lost some weight (50lbs) gained it all back PLUS 5ish pounds and have now lost 32 pounds from my highest known weight. I can only ever get it to track from the original start weight instead of the newer high. Same with their app and a couple of others that I joined the first time I lost weight. Is it not possible to track from your actual highest at some of these places without making a whole new profile?

I don't know if this will solve your problem on SparkPeople but go to the "Start" page under "My Trackers". Scroll down the page to the left-hand side under "My Goals & Progress". There under "Pounds Lost" you should click on "Change Goal". There you can input a start date and a start weight. If this isn't what you wanted to do, then I have misunderstood the problem and you can ignore everything I have said...LOL!
