edited September 26 in Success Stories
precisely five weeks ago, i recommited to my food journal, because i was getting pretty slack with it. i recorded the 'in five weeks' number into a chart every evening, and at the end of the week i took the average of those numbers.

i'm very happy to report that my average 'in five weeks' number for this week was 193.8. but at weigh in this morning, i checked in at 192.6! that's 1.2 pounds *less* than the mfp prediction!

i am very excited to be ahead of the game! very cool stuff.

    That is awesome! I always log mine, and I am not even close (even 10 weeks ago) I also have been slacking on my food journal. WTG

    I love seeing that on my mfp food diary. It motivates me when I see it, and makes me want to ensure that happens in five weeks. The numbers are pretty awesome though. I weigh 82kg, and mfp predicts that in 5 weeks I would be 77kg (average) that's like a dream come true.

    I always see that reco when you finish the daily log but never paid it much mind.

    Maybe I ought to follow it and see what happens.

    I just started yesterday writing that in the note at the bottom and my daily B/P check so I can track them.

    thanks, everyone! if anyone wants, i have a handy little excel chart all ready to go. send me a message if you like and i'll send it to you via your personal email. the bugger of it is actually waiting for a whole five weeks to see your results, but once you're there, you have something to compare in every weigh in day.
