    The predictive five week weight is based on the your last entered weight. If you went back and completed previous entries again it would base it on your current (last entered) weight.

    Don't take the five week prediction too seriously, there are too many factors to make an accurate prediction five weeks out.
    Completing the day doesn't serve any purpose except for giving you that prediction. Some people find it helpful, some people find it discouraging.

    Weigh and log your food, track your exercise and eat the calories back, because it is the single best way to understand the fundamental energy balance: calories in, calories out. Your weight is always governed by this concept and a mathematical formula, whether you are tracking or not. For many of us, we’ve found incredible peace of mind and flexibility with that knowledge and awareness. It doesn’t do much matter what the weight predictor says, it’s a silly concept since who eats exactly the same every day? But tracking, weighing, monitoring your own weight and adjusting accordingly, these are habits that translate to long term success in managing your weight. Even if you decide to stop logging after you’ve reached maintenance, the concept of CICO still applies.
