The number it says when you complete your diary is soo motivating.. has anyone actually weighed that much after 5 weeks?

    How close I adhere to my goal varies from day to day(sometimes very nearly on it, sometimes a bit over, sometimes a bit under, ...sometimes more than a bit over...)

    In a very general way it's closeish, if I roughly average what it's estimating over several day's worth of estimates. But any particular day? Nah. If I was a bit more rigorous about things I assume it'd be closer, but I'm having too much fun to get too worked up about it.

    I like to record that number in my "notes" section so I can look back any given time in 5 weeks and see. Yeah, it's close. Sometimes I beat it, sometimes not. I read where one person writes it in their notes 5 weeks in advance so it's there THAT day when they get there 5 weeks later.

    Kinda fun to do! And it would answer your question for yourself. :)

    I am interested in the same thing. I too recently started tracking that "You'd be xxx.xlbs in 5 weeks" in the 'food notes' at the bottom of the diary each day when I finish. Then, I can look back 5 weeks from whenever to see where I am at.

    I suppose it's pretty close. If I actually did EXACTLY what I did that day, for 5 weeks, I'm sure it would be alot more accurate. I go ahead 5 weeks in my calendar and save it in my notes.. That way, when I get there I'll know what it told me :)
