    It does say "if every day were like today"... My days are never exactly the same. I eat differently and my workouts change. I found the projection motivating at first, but the number kept changing and it didn't make any sense.

    This. I haven't tried eating the exact same thing and getting the exact same exercise every single day for five weeks, so it may be accurate who knows?

    I look at it for motivation....when it tells me how much less I will weight 5 weeks out OR when I've had a "bad" day and it shows me how much more I will weigh in 5 weeks....

    I eat pretty much the same things everyday, and lately I've been doing the same amount of exercise. I hardly ever close my diary, so i haven't taken much notice of the the prediction.
    But i closed my diary the other day and wrote down the weight on my calendar 5 weeks from then, so i guess I will see on the 9th of May if it's accurate or not :#

    I dont understand it really.. it says be under 1500 and u will be x weight in five weeks (goal set) and when u log within 1500.. its says a lot more than my goal in 5 weeks.. i mean "whatttt" if i have a weight goal set according to ur calorie goal.. and i am lesser and within the goal calorie.. shouldn't i be less or equal to my weight goal in 5 weeks.. if everyday was like that ? ????

    Back to the original post: You mention you want to lose a certain amount of weight per month. What is that goal? You should be able to get into a rhythm and then stay there to consistently lose month to month. I lost 11 lbs every month for 6 months.. Once I found my "net calories" (calories - exercise) I knew where I needed to be to stay on track. I just had to make sure that number did not fluctuate greatly

    Does anyone know how accurate the estimate for how much you would weigh in five weeks is?

    Ignore it.

    It's probably close to accurate, but every day is not usually the same. If every day were like my Saturdays, I'd be a few pounds heavier in 5 weeks.
