    I have been tracking it on a calendar everyday to see if it is close to being realistic at all. I find it really varied day to day with how much more exercise I do daily, close to calories, etc.

    Have 2 weeks until the first of the tracked "in 5 weeks you will weigh........", so hoping it is at least close!

    It's just for fun.

    Obviously days won't be identical, so it's not accurate. But it's just motivation, seeing a weight lower than what you currently are.

    It says "If every day were like today". Your days are not consistent, so it doesn't apply to you.

    Not at all! It's just a basic calculation and most of the time our bodies (and diets) are not consistent or predictable enough for it to be correct.
