Pennington Weight Change Predictor

Just read this NY Times Article:
http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/08/01/dieting-vs-exercise-for-weight-loss/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0

Which led me to this Pennington Biomedical Weight Change Predictor:
http://www.pbrc.edu/research-and-faculty/calculators/sswcp/

The article is interesting unto itself, and it's discussion of "weight change expectations" made me consider how I expect weight loss to work/happen based upon MFP predictions. Would many of us stick with the programs longer if our expectations of weight loss were better predicted? Any thoughts out there on the research and the Pennington predictor?

Also, it's just a fun tool to play around with. Thought some of you might enjoy.
