5 weeks ago today started logging my "if every day is like today in five weeks your weight will be" in my food notes.
i don't log any of my cardio exercise, so mfp doesn't net my calories (but i do log my strength training mwf); i try to keep my actual calories consumed under my daily goal.
anyway, i'm over 5 pounds actual under what mfp projected 5 weeks ago. i've been tracking my weekly weight loss since i started (april 16), and it has been fairly consistent at around 2 pounds per week (not including the first week when i dropped over 7 pounds, but that was an aberration). my goal is set to lose one pound per week. i'm very happy with my results so far!

Weight chart.com has an awesome set up with current and past charting as well as a 'milestone" section for the future.
I have my goals set out at a pound a week until I meet my goal and it is truly inspirational to see the graph move depending upon my progress (or lack there of!).0
