Currently trying to lose weight with that being said had a question about the predicted weight loss after 5 weeks is that close estimate do you see that weight or close to it when you log your diary

I don't find it accurate

Thanks for your comments

You have to keep in mind that it says "if every day were like today", meaning exact calories in and calories out every single day. That's where the prediction falls short because our food intake and calorie burn differs day to day. For most people anyway... I think it's good to give a general idea of where you're heading if you stay the course though.

Yeah, even on those days when my intake is exactly the same, my calorie burn from activity and exercise is different. I don't pay attention to the prediction.

If it were accurate I would have hit my goal months ago!!! Lol

I've written that number on my calendar many times (5 weeks from today), and it has never been accurate for me. Maybe if everyday were exactly the same as today it may be slightly accurate. But I have never been able to achieve that for 5 straight weeks.

When I had my best success losing I think I was eating very similar meals and was consistent in my exercise regimen. I'm beginning to think everyday should be like the last. Of course, how many turkey sandwiches in a row can you handle?

I like to change it up with ham every now and then.

It's an eye opener to me when I overeat and log (like today...major splurge tonight) and it says 5 weeks from today you'd weigh "3.6 lbs more than I currently do" o_0 Yikes!

I don't treat that as a prediction, that I WILL weigh that much in 5 weeks.

I see it as feedback on my eating and exercise today.
If I overeat, it reminds me that if I keep going like this, I'm going to either lose weight very slowly or may get bigger
If I eat very little it shows me that I could lose weight faster, but then I get to think about whether that's a sustainable way to go.

So, for me it's not a prediction, its a chance to reflect on my day.

With my exerciseing and only doing 1200 cal (my goal is 7-8 lbs less) 125-117 Id lost a lb and was hopeful. The 5 wks from tday said Id be 107 lol.. I havent ever been 107 maybe as a child. But I gained back my lb! I guess I ate more roasted almonds than I thought.
