MFP help with Diary PLEASE

Options
After logging all your food and activities for the day, there is a button that says complete diary...then it says "if every day was like this you would weigh _____ after 5 weeks? Has anyone actually been successful with this? Has this theory been tested?

    It's hard to answer that question because most days (at least for me) aren't the same. One day I'll be very under my calorie intake, the next I'll go a little over. If you're consistent with your calorie intake, theoretically you should lose what MFP estimates. Unfortunately there are so many variables (how much your body is used to eating/burning, water weight, time of day, etc. etc.) that can affect what you see on the scale-- therefore just keep aiming to eat under your calorie goal and the weight will come off

    Yes I hope I see the results that MFP is estimating :-)

    That's what motivated me. I was like in 5 weeks????? My body does it's own thing. I am going to try it. See if I can do it. I'd love to be 10 lbs lighter in 5 weeks.

    You should do it with me. The 5 week thing... HAHAHAHAHA
