    Judge by yourself. It's not perfect but it follows the trend

    Weight loss is not linear...no...it is not accurate...it's a forecast, not an exact number.

    No, I would be 192 lbs months ago. 199 lbs at present.

    I only started yesterday. When I put in my stats, weight and goal weight into the main page I wrote that I would like to lose 2lbs per week. It came back to tell me that I would lose 0.8 per week which was a bit discouraging. I would be hoping that at least the first week I would lose more than that.

    No, for me everything happens in fits and starts. I do like the motivation it gives though - "If every day is like today," I think, "I can be X pounds!"

    No, I would have reached my goal a long time ago...it keeps dangling that low weight in front of me like a carrot! Guess what, everyday IS like today and yet I'm NOT the weight you promised. They need to revamp that IMO!


    Yeah THIS

    I feel good when i see it because its almost always lower than where i figure i will be. I finally started writing it down to keep track of about a week ago - so in 4 weeks i will see. Of course everyday is different since i exercise more or less each day. Its fun to see though when i have exercised for 3 + hours that day!

    I wish Mfp would give and end of week estimate rather than daily.

    It makes me laugh honestly. If I were to take it seriously, I would have been in the lower 160's by now.

    I don't pay any attention to it - like sure, OK. I just keep doing what I'm doing, because - so far - it's working. I'm not on a timetable this time, just focusing on today!

    No but I eat like 2000 cals a day. It always says I'd gain like 8 lbs in 5 weeks. Lol. So wrong.
