    Since I know every day is NEVER like today, I scoff at its foolish predictions.

    Then I eat something because I'll be DAMNED if some computer is the boss of me!

    (Woop - gotta split. Outlook sez I have a meeting!)

    I only like it when it shows me something I want to see ;-)

    i used to really like it, and found it to be pretty accurate (I guess every day *was* like today!) Then I got annoyed by it. I keep track of my weight every day, but I don't log it every day. So I can weigh myself in the morning at 185 lbs, although MFP has my weight as 190 lbs, and then MFP will say "If every day was like today, you'd weight 187". Well obviously it will be inaccurate.

    I got around it by just never clicking the button that says "Done with entries for today".

    I have to say the only reason I like it is b/c on the occasional days that I do go over my calorie goal... it lets me see "ohhh so if I ate like this every day, I'd pretty much maintain my fat a** status!" and it makes me want to do better the next day! More of like a slap in the face to why I look the way I look now by eating so much.

    I have found that it pretty on point for me if I keep all my days consistent for those 5 weeks. However, I'm informed enough to know I still have to eat to stay energized!

    exactly! I get excited over the estimated weight loss.
    I have no idea if its right or not though, I do not remember what I weighed 5 weeks ago or what it said.

    You have to beat it at it's own game. I don't show it all my cards.

    Today, I walked more than five miles at work, all at top speed. I didn't log it. When I completed my entry, it said I'd lose .2 pounds in 5 weeks.

    I smiled and thought "so you think".

    jedi mind tricks...... i think im scared


    These are not the pounds you're looking for!

    :laugh: I about choked on my apple when I read this! :laugh:

    I think it would be more useful if they took a moving average and said:

    "If every week were like the last 7 days, you'd weigh XXXlbs in 5 weeks."
