Is this based on your food alone in relation to your height and weight?

    It's just calories in/calories out but it's a load of bs imho.

    Yeah, it's nice to see, but messes with your head. Don't pay it any never mind. Focus on your own progress.

    It's just your net for the day applied over five weeks. You can use it as encouragement or just ignore it.

    You would have to eat and work out IDENTICALLY like that day for 5 weeks straight for it to be even close to possible.

    Just ignore it and focus on your actual weight loss.

    Everyone's body is different so I would not put too much stock into that phrase :) I still love seeing it.

    Exactly.

    It's just an estimate, always encourages me! :)

    ROFL, 100% this. I don't even click on "Complete This Entry" anymore because it serves no real purpose.

    Mine tells me I'd weigh more than I do know haha. Then again it also wants me to eat 1200 cal a day. Pfft whatever.
