I just downloaded Libra. After inputting my weights for the past month, Libra predicts I'll reach my goal weight in June of 2026. I guess it needs a little more data. I started logging about a month ago and have lost 9.5 lbs. Maybe I'm not using it correctly.

    Let's be more positive how much do you have to lose?

    Katie, I have about 50-60 still to lose. I'm just reporting what Libra told me. I have no intention to taking that slowly.

    10 years to lose 50-60 lbs is ridiculous lol Personally I have lost up to 50 lbs in a year, and I know many many people here have lost just that or even more! I wouldn't trust that Libra site lol

    I suspect it has to do with how long I've been giving it info. In a few weeks, there will probably be a more reasonable prediction. I just saw that and thought it was hilarious.

    Yes ... it took me about 32 weeks + a 1 month break right in the middle of that to lose 55 lbs.

    Libra is an Android app that "smoothes" out daily weights to show more of a trend. It's useful for people like me that step on the scale daily. This morning I figured out that the 2026 date was from an input error that I made, accidentally logging a higher (former) weight into the app for a date in the future, so it looked to Libra like my weight was trending up instead of down. My updated predicted goal date is now in late 2016, much more encouraging.

    It's just a lack of data, don't worry. The more data I give trendweight the closer it gets. At one point it was like 2022, now it says 2018. Just show it your rate of loss over the next few weeks and it will adjust to a more true prediction.

    I use Libra, and I don't even look at that date. Its not useful to me. All I look at is the "trend weight", and the stats page. :)
