General Question to all

When you click 'Complete This Entry' and it says: You will weight XXX in 5 weeks, does anyone actually achieve that? Or is it just giving you a rough estimate?

    It's a rough estimate but every day is not the same. I usually have lost more than it estimates in 5 weeks though.

    Some people get over, some under that number in that amount of time.

    I will tell you the closer you get to "goal" weight, the more inaccurate that estimation will be.

    I have never hit that 5 week goal. I'm always over, but I press on. As stated above, every day is different. It's just an estimate and I don't let it give me false hope.

    It is based on if you have the exact same calories you did that day so mine changes a lot. If I eat more or less then obviously I will weigh more or less. I don't really pay much attention to it but it is nice to see sometimes :)
