    I love that message! I consider it one of the most motivating factors of the whole application. When I look at it, first I think, "Guh, that's still so high." But then I think, "That's less than today! Slow and steady wins the race!" It gives me hope.

    But now that you've pointed it out, I realize it hasn't been right. But I still love it.

    I agree! Totally!

    I too am one of the ones who like it. It's encouraging to know if I stay the course of keeping my calories in check and my exercise going that I WILL continue to make progress. And when I eat over my calorie intake by what seems "just a little bit", it reminds me that if I keep that up, then I will be right back where I started. So I find it not only motivating, but a good way to keep me in check and reminded of how little each day it took to get me to where I started at on this journey.

    Yes! Exactly!!!

    I like it. It has actually been pretty accurate for me. I write them down on my calendar every once in a while just to see how right or wrong it was and inevitably it's close,

    This has been my experience, too, so I like it. And on the days when I eat too much, that gets my attention!

    You are certainly not alone. I feel like it sets me up for failure. I get so excited when I see I could actually be down 15lbs in 6 weeks. I am losing much slower than this. 29 lbs in 4 months.
