    Stay with it! You will keep losing as long as you keep making great choices like you have been! I recently hit my first 5 week (2 days ago) and I weighed a teeny bit less than predicted. Really great stuff :smile:

    AWESOME! Congrats to you! I would have been under too if I hadn't been sick and without exercise for a whole week! :)

    This is awesome!!! I'm going to start tracking it too. I know mine isn't as dead on because i don't have the exact same intake and exercise every day, but knowing that it WORKS for sure will help set those little goals I SO can't wait to see the scale go under 250!!! For every time the 2nd digit on the scale goes down I know I am closer and closer to getting that first number to drop too.

    Congratulations on such great progress! I'm always thrilled to see people making this work for themselves!

    I love the "in 5 weeks" estimates and have kept an eye on them too. I have to admit I was surprised that I lost exactly the amount of weight in the amount of time I set for my goal when signing up. I figured with all the "life happens" that we *know* happens along the way, I'd be happy to lose 8 pounds in 12 weeks, nevermind 6. MFP laid out how to do it, I followed the plan, and HOT DAMN it worked!!!

    Congrats on your success! <3 ur profile pic! Soooo inspiring!

    So 5 weeks ago I started recording the "If every day were like today you'd weigh... in 5 weeks" in my note section of my diary. I am glad to announce that it was almost dead on! :) It said in 5 weeks I'd weigh 322.1lbs, well today was 5 weeks and I weighed in this morning at 322.0lbs -I try and eat the same amount of cals a day, I exercise at least a half hour every day (Unless I am sick/injured) so the number doesnt change much from my day to day diaries. A few days ago I completed my diary and it said I'd be under 300lbs for the first time- I felt like squealing like little girl with excitement- since well obviously it was dead on then, if I keep my healthy habits up, I'll be there soon! I just wanted to share in case some of you were wondering if that number is in fact somewhat reliable, because it's proving to be true for me! :) Hope you're all having a great day and moving! :)

    THANK YOU for posting this!! We were just making jokes about these "notices" earlier today and I was ready to swear they were not accurate! LMHO Now I'll take them more seriously! I really liked what it told me today. ♡

    I'm glad that the statement is true for someone, because it sure isn't true for me. I'm about to give up. I did Weight Watchers last fall and after 12 weeks my total outcome was a gain of 12 pounds. Then they went to the new Points Plus where most all fruits and veggies were zero points, which to me meant more food to eat--which equals more calories--which equals more weight gain. I came to MFP, lost 5 pounds the first week and one pound a week after that. I lost a total of 9 pounds. I am still keeping my food diary. I am still at or a little under my daily calorie limit; however, I have gained 3 pounds back. I think I am too old (60-something) to even care anymore. Of course my doctors are screaming about the possible health risks I face at my age, but none so far.

    Congrats to all of you doing so well!!
    I often wonder if the "if you ate like this" just means for that full day if you eat similar or if it tallies throughout the week because my numbers are different every day, 5-10lb difference

    that is fantastic. Thanks for the inspiration. When I look at my in five weeks it really has some drastic changes so i started tracking mine. I hope that I hve the same results. I cant wait to be under 300 It has been a long time. Working hard to get there. One step at a time and one day at a time. Have been under my calories everyday since starting on Feb 11. I go to the doctor on March 11 for a weigh in. I am a little nervous but I know I have worked hard so I am not going to stress about it.
    Again thanks for inspiration! so happy for you great job.:flowerforyou:
