What the deal with the pridicted date?
Its saying I should hit my goal in AUGUST. . . Now I am losing 7 to 10 LBs consistantly a month, so thats well over 3 months longer then historically. Is it ignoring mf actual weight loss rate if its over 1 lb a week? I would be awe struck if I wasn't at my goal by the end of the semester.
I think that the Calorie Coach / Predicted weight loss is based on what is "typical". In other words, if a person normally loses X amount of weight in X amount of time, that will be the prediction.
Mine says I will reach my goal by April.... But at the rate I'm going, I should reach it by the end of Feburary.
If you're losing faster than what is expected, or "typical", you're predicted date will be further away than realistic.
You could expect to lose around 1% of your body-weight per week. So as you get lighter you'll lose weight slower. Once you're within 10% of your healthy weight it goes even slower. Use the time between now and August to get your healthy eating and exercise habits firmly embedded. Then you'll not only get to a healthy weight but you'll be able to maintain it for a long time.

So you can log your weight -- which allows you to do the following:
- Plot your weight curve
- Analyze the trend of your weight (see under Recent in the figure above)
- Determine the projected target date (see under Overall in the figure above)
