then you'd weigh *** in 5 weeks.
Does this work for everyone else? Mine always tells me that but even keeping my days the same and my results being +/- 1 pound of each other, I am not weighing in where this thing says I should.....any thoughts?

I've never actually checked.
I'm actually fairly horrified by the idea of "If every day were like today...," probably why I don't think about it much.0 -
it isn't accurate. There are several things it doesn't take into account. It strictly looks at cals in vs cals out. It doesn't take into consideration water intake, plateaus, etc.0

I don't think their numbers are meant to be definite. They are only estimates, and everyone's metabolism, etc are slightly different. I would not be too disconcerted if you do not meet their "expected" weight.0

I like it because it motivates me but I take what it says with a grain of salt. Too many other factors involved. Not everyone loses at the same rate.0

It's meant to be motivational, I think, at least when you're doing well.0

I ignore it.0

For me, it serves as a motivator. It's not reliable data, but it's an obscure number I can aim for.0

I ignore it.. it told me today that if every day were like today I'd weigh 143.5 pounds in 5 weeks.. um I currently weigh 157 and am 7 pounds away from my goal.. I highly doubt I'd drop 14 pounds in 5 weeks.. heck, I doubt I'll even drop 5 pounds in that span of time because I'm trying to take these last 7 pounds pretty slow.0
