    This is pretty neat. I'm only 3lbs off of hitting my goal by the time I want to. Pretty darn close!

    What? If you're set to lose 1 pound per week then just count the weeks... why do you need a web site to calculate this for you?
    It seems a little more complicated than that. It calculates the changing calorie needs and deficits as you lose weight. So if you weigh 250lb you need a certain deficit to lose 2lb, but if you weigh 125lb you would have different calculations. As you lose, your calculations change.
    Your calorie needs would change, yes, but as long as you maintain a consistent deficit your rate of loss should not change. It's simple math. Actually no, it's simple counting.

    You don't NEED one, it just presents the info to you in a nice little table. If your weight loss goal isn't quite as neat as a lb a week it's not as easy as that. I like how I can see how my weight loss will be affected whether I have 1200, 1300 or 1400 calories per day, it makes a huge difference and I like having this information easily accessible instead of doing a LOT of math. Also, the calorie amounts given by different websites vary hugely so it's nice to see what they recommend for maintenance after each little loss, because maintenance changes after each loss your deficit will change too so your weight loss isn't going to be a steady 1lb a week even if that's your goal.

    The deficit changes quite considerably as the weight goes down in line with new TDEE/BMR etc, so it isn't simple counting.

    Hi guys.

    Apologies if this has been posted before! Found this and thought id share it on here as im finding it really useful! Its a calorie calculator really similar to mfps 'in 5 weeks you will weigh' feature, but tells you what your weight should be every week if you have a certain amount of calories per day.

    Hope it helps!



    Thanks! This is really COOL and it gives you something to shoot for WITH CONSTANCY! And that is what is missing in Most Eating/Wellness Plans...NO One can Factor in CONSTANCY! That's why there are failure; the Science is Nothing without the INTANGIBLES, that's why we "play" the games...You can't measure the Heart of a WINNER/Champion no matter how good a team/person looks by the Numbers!

    CONSISTENCY = What you do over and over ( Example: I was Consistently on a Diet and I weighed OVER 300 lbs for 10 years...How, Every week day I would eat according to a plan and every weekend I "Treated" Myself with Binging and Every Monday I started all over again!)
    CONSTANCY = What you DO, Day in and Day out (Systemically not Habitually). Example: The Drop of Water that drops (24/7/365 at 20 sec intervals ) on a 10 Ton Bolder and cracks it open! DO It and YOU WILL get a Breakthrough!

    Checked it out and it seems very neat. If I can JUST stay on track every day it should be very spot on. However, Sundays are my "no track" day and I allow anything I want. May need to rethink that if I have an actual date I can look at :bigsmile:

    Thanks for sharing

    it's not, really, more complicated than that. Your goals and your calories burned change along the way and you adjust with them. Why do people think math is complicated? It's not. REALLY it's not.

    The calculations there are just AMORTIZATIONS, like interest on savings and loans!
