I'm losing just not at the rate that the daily calculations say I should be. when you close out your diary for the day and it says if every day was like this you'd be *** in 5 weeks. Does anyone actually get there when it says? I'm losing but not at the rate..what's your experience with this?

    You would have to eat and exercise EXACTLY like that day, every single day, to meet the target weight that is listed. I don't know many people who do the same thing, every day, with no variation. It's just a guideline to give you motivation to keep being successful!

    I actually track it just for fun. I am about 4 pounds heavier still than the last prediction I got LOL. I don't think it is really that accurate because honestly...who eats the same and exercises the same every day for 5 weeks? But its good for a laugh and a little motivating!
