I hate that when I complete my diary it always tells me "In 5 weeks you'd weigh 183.4" or "In 5 weeks you'd weigh 179 pounds" and yet every week at weigh in, I weigh the same!!!!!

You took the words right out of my mouth.0

LOL I was just thinking this. xD0

Well considering if you ate exactly what you entered, every day for 5 weeks and did the exact exercise. Assuming you didn't lie about your weight, you would way that much lol0
-
i find it encouraging0
-
Don't pay attention too it, it's just for ...ish and giggles0
-
And yet 5 weeks comes and goes, every day, and I still weigh the same. Hate that thing!0
-
I also hate it, I wish it could be shut off!0
-
I would prefer if it used "inches" rather than weight. Im dropping more inches than weight. So I tend to not even close my diary off for the day anymore1
-
I'm glad its not just me....0
-
I don't like it either! Ughh!0
-
i can relate to that. i should weigh like 8 lbs less in 5 weeks according to daily weigh ins...doesn't happen tho0

I find it very inaccurate. For example: when I do the charts that say how many calories I need per day to simply maintain my weight it has me around 2100. I am trying to lose weight so even just cutting 500/day should have me losing 1 lb per week. However on MFP it set my calories at 1200/day and said that would only have me losing 1 lb per week. I manually changed it to 1600. Anyway, I lost 2 pounds in just the last 5 days, but when I close my diary it says that eating close to 1600 calories will have me losing like .3 lbs a week. Yeah right. lol Every person's body is different and personally I think MFP's formula for calculating how many calories a day a person needs is off.0

IF only it were true!!0
-
I don't even close out the diary every day cause I hate it so much....0
-
"If every day were like today... You'd weigh 128.4 lbs in 5 weeks"
Yes, MFP. i'm going to MAGICALLY lose 20.6 lbs in 5 weeks. Yeah.. no.0 -
Meh. I just ignore that. I agree its pretty way off the mark. But as a boost to, or kick in the butt to motivate, it's okay.0
-
I agree ....... no way I'll be that much lower in 5 weeks ...... wishful thinking !0 -
I've been told we shouldn't rely so much as to what the scale indicates but rather you should gauge your progress through measurements. I've been using my fitness pal for a couple of months and although I have it set to help me shed a pound per week, I have lost only a few pounds. For me part of the issue is I don't always eat under 1500 calories and I try to work out at least twice a week. I'd definitely shed more if I stuck to a strict regime of 1500 calories and worked out everyday but keep in mind the scale will NOT fluctuate per se because excersing should help build muscle.0
