Anyone actually hit that number mfp projects? I've been on for 5 weeks I'm not even close
Nope....not once...I wish it wasn't on there...gives me false expectations!0 -
I have been using MFP since June 1st and I must say It was pretty accurate for the first 5 week mark. It is motivating, both ways.One day I ate like over 2000 calories and it gave me a number that showed me gaining weight. Needless to say I did not do it again the next day. lol.0

wow wtg!! you lost a LOTTTTTTTTTTTTTT of wt :drinker:0 -

LOL, no doubt huh?! hahaa:bigsmile:0 -
I have seen the same projected number for 3 months...It's a LIAR0
-
never, since i started too many weeks ago to count. it really feels like such a big fat LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!0
-
No...not me either but I also like seeing the number!0

I wrote a note in my diary that in five weeks, August 16, MFP said I could weigh 320. I don't think I will be that exactly, but I will be close. So, for arguments sake, I think it can be a good motivator and maybe accurate give or take 3-5lbs.0

not a clue what it said 5 weeks ago, so pass.
Same0 -
Hahahahah I should have lost at least 10 lbs by now. But I haven't x_x0

Not got to 5 weeks yet but the number is encouraging.0

That number changes daily for me. Unfortunately, I am not consistent yet. Some days I don't stay within my calories, but then the next day I try harder and will stay within it. I like how it tells me that if I overate every day like I did that one day this is what I would weight. On the other hand when I am doing good it tells me what will happen if I keep it up. It is a good gauge of what it could be like.0
-
no, but I like seeing it lol, today it said in 5 weeks id be 137, which I cant ever remember weighing that little so, I just keep hoping its right lol0
-
I find it encourage and I think I've losing the weight as they predict. I've found that using a HRM and food scale help a lot with accuracy.0
-
I've never hit nor surpassed what MFP says I will weigh in five weeks.0
-
go you girl on your weight lost so far! amazing!0

I met the first one it ever told me by the 5 week mark, but I only know that because I wrote it down somewhere. Otherwise, I can't recall for accuracy. As long as I'm proud of myself for the choices I make, then I assume that eventually I will reach my goal, regardless of what the 'if you ate like this for 5 weeks you would weight xyz' tells me.
I do like seeing that number though. LOL0 -
I like seeing it. I think it comes close? but I have never really kept track. Better to be happy about what is actually happening that what "might happen in 5 weeks)0

As I weigh in once every 4-6 weeks only, I have a pretty good understanding of the accuracy of this number. If I were to average out the numbers it gives me every day by the whole period between weigh-ins, I would say it is usually pretty spot on. Sometimes I exceed that number, sometimes I hit it, and sometimes I am only a few hundred grammes off the mark.
My current weight is 122kg (269lbs) and the projection for the last 4 or 5 days has said that in 5 weeks I will weigh 118 and change (260lbs). As, for the last 6 weeks, I've been losing 1 kg (2.2lbs) per week, it's fairly likely that I will hit this projected goal by the next weigh-in and perhaps exceed it.0
