So 5 weeks ago, I put in my calendar what MFP said I'd weigh in 5 weeks "if everday were like today" because I wanted to see how accurate it was. Well, IT WAS RIGHT! Actually I'm a pound under what it said I'd weigh in 5 weeks! Which is very motivating because I had several weeks that felt like the scale didn't move! YEAH!

    Yay! Congrats on the weight loss! That's very informative and inspiring. I just started my journey and knowing that their prediction is accurate will surely help me through the rough days.

    Good luck with your journey! I would recommend doing the same thing to everyone. And set your goals 5 weeks at a time. So have a "good day" see what repeated days would bring your weight to in 5 weeks. Record it...and in 5 weeks do it again!

    I do an average of a week's projections. My day to day deficit varies, but my weekly deficit is pretty steady. The 5 week projection is usually pretty close (within a pound or two), and if it is off, I have usually exceeded it.
