My wife has lost 22 since Jan 1st myself 44.5 and daughter 31.5. My question is this when my wife finishes her day it says she will weigh 137-139 in 5 weeks depending what she has eaten. She eats 1200 to 1400 calories and doesn't subtract any activity exercise calories. She has been stuck for about 3 weeks within a pound or two up and down. Problem is she weighs 139. why does it say she will weigh the same thing in 5 weeks, she says no wonder I am not losing.
Mine says I will be 177 in 5 weeks and I weigh 185.6 so that seem about right. Why is hers the same as she weighs now?

    as you lose weight, unless you are building lots of muscles (which you need a calorie surplus for) you will need to consume fewer calories...if you don't adjust your calories on MFP then it will say you will gain weight in 5 weeks

    that is the only thing i can think of...?

    Because she hasn't changed anything about her diet, maybe?? Now that she's smaller she may need to eat less calories, she should also be logging exercise.

    I think it's a bug with MFP, not anything your wife is doing wrong. I never go by that number, and I know people have complained about it in the website forum.

    Umm, maybe she has hers set to maintain maybe? Idk, really, that is strange.
