I’m restarting after 2 years. I resurrected my strength training goal, but now the graph is less than helpful because of the past data squished at the beginning. Can I set the graph to only show from now on?

Thanks for asking this! We need to make this clearer, and of course when we have proper dynamic graphs it will be moot, but in the meantime the answer is to set today or whenever as the x-min in Settings under the graph.

Thanks! Now that I see it, I’m kicking myself. 🙂
