in Goal: Maintaining Weight
Does this app have an area where it projects how long it will take and what my weight should be if I stay on track of the diet

    Yes, when you click complete entry on your diary it gives you a 5 week prediction.

    It's useless though.

    The NIH has one though. Try this: http://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/nih-research-model-predicts-weight-varying-diet-exercise-changes

    It's actually what got my started several years ago. I decided that it was going to take a lot less than I thought. It took me 7 months to lose - 2 weeks more than the model predicted. This one slows down as you get closer to goal and gives you an 'ideal' weight. Which is actually where I stopped (and was the same as my weight 30 years ago when I graduated from college).

    There are also weight trend apps that will do this. I use Libra (for Android), but there are others like Happy Scale, Trendweight and more.

    Libra looks at the weights you enter from your weigh-ins, projects a trend (so you can see your overall direction even if there are up/down day-to-day fluctuations) and estimates when you'll reach goal if that trend continues. I assume the others have similar functions.

    Isn't that done when you select how much you want to lose per week? If you're accurate with your logging can't you just deduct from your current weight? 1lb per week = 4lbs per month etc.
