    I record these every day in the notes section of my food diary, and I've gone back to look a couple of times. So far I'm ahead of schedule, according to that message. :)

    I do the same. Copy and paste that message into my edit notes section of the food diary and then check again later and it actually has worked and has been on schedule. I love it!

    What a great idea!! Thanks for sharing!

    I've never checked to see if it's accurate or not but maybe I'll give it a try. I do notice it though and see it as a good form of motivation.

    That's funny - I was just wondering this today. Good to know that it's been close for many of you!!! It's definitely a great motivator. I look at that number and think "OMG, to actually see that on a scale would just about make my year!"

    Sorry, I was testing my tracker. I put the "if everyday were like today" number in my notes, just to see what will happen.

    Cheers

    writing it down is a good idea. I haven't been here that long, so I don't know how close it is.

    I find it interesting that when i hit complete and get the notice... then hit "make additional notes" do not really change anything but when i hit again the number is much much lower... wonder why that is..

    It is way off for me, but that's because I'm insulin resistant.
    It usually says "you would weigh 13X.X pounds in 5 weeks".
    It's been 8 weeks and I'm down 4 lbs. lol.
    And yes I'm on a very strict diet. Just goes to show you that medical problems can really throw off "predictions"

    Okay I have a query,

    I would like to lose 2lbs per week - I was clear that this was my aim with MFP, so today I am 235 calories under my allocation of calories (includes my exercise cals)...... therefore I expected to see

    If every day were like today...You'd weigh 138lbs in 5 weeks (10 pounds down)

    but it does not give that lovely figure as my projected weight in 5 weeks - oh no it says 141.9lbs ????? WTF

    6lbsin 5 weeks I want more......

    Nah, I'm stuck in a plateau so my weight has stayed the same for 5 weeks. I might try copying it into my notes though. THanks for th suggestion!
