Disabilities and weight loss
I am new. I have a rare disease that is quite painful. Some days it hurts too much to eat and other days I eat way too much (usually when I feel sorry for myself because I am sick).

Why am I projected to lose less weight even if I am under my calorie goals?
Even thought I started out today with under my calorie intake, it is saying I will have only lost 6 lbs in 5 weeks, even thought I have a goal of 2 lbs a week. I am at 158 and am trying to get to 145. I was under 1200 today and it is still saying "if every day was like today you would be 152 in 5 weeks". WHY? :(

Weight loss and knee replacement
Over the course of a decade, I lost 40 lbs from my all time high. I knew the extra weight was hard on my knees but didn’t realize the extent.
