Remove the “close diary” function

The “close diary at the end of each day” causes a lot of confusion, particularly amongst newer members. I suspect it’s designed to inspire people by saying “in xx weeks you will have lost xxx”, and I know it is caveated, but many see it and think it is the truth. Then they post in the forums upset because they haven’t lost the weight or don’t understand why the figure it gives is different to their actual rate of loss.

Maybe it’s time to retire it?
