Don't forget to change your settings every now and then, so that MFP recognizes you've lost some weight, and adjusts your calories downward. It took me a while to figure out the connection between your allowance and the amount of weight you'll lose (or won't if its still based on your higher weight):blushing:
When does it adjust calories downwards? I dont think Ive seen that before?0 -
I eat ALL of my calories and it tells me that in 5 weeks i'll weigh almost 15-20 lbs less...... i highly doubt that
But, oh how i wish it were true0 -
it changes daily and is unpredictable, i find it a horrible way to gage what i will actually be in 5weeks.0

I track them and in general have been about 1-3 lbs lower. I also take the week's average (obviously if I have a particularly high or low day it's not going to be very accurate). But it's not meant to be a measurement so much as an encouragement kind of thing.0

That doesn't work for me unfortunately0

That's just a guideline if every day were exactly the same, and all your tracking is 100% accurate, and MFP's estimation of your maintenance calories is correct.
If you've been pretty consistent over a 5 week period, look back and take an average. How many lbs have you lost in those 5 weeks? How many lbs/week was your target? The actual should be pretty darn close to the target (if you've been pretty consistent). If they're not, it may be time to fine tune a few things or change up some habits.
For me, I'm targeting 1lb/week and it's been pretty spot on. But I am constantly fine-tuning.0 -
I have been putting the "in 5 weeks" number in my food diary in the notes section and I just checked what it said for Feb 12th and I am actually .5 lb lighter than what it said I would weigh. Am looking forward to seeing what it says in 5 weeks again!0

The ones I tracked 2 were pretty close and the other 2 I hit the weight in 4 weeks instead of 50
