When MFP projects how much you'll weigh in X weeks...

Thank you!

That thing is just a projection "if every day were like today". It also does not take into account your WLS which changes your physiology. It also uses your projected level of exercise and does not account for stalls. It does not take into account the type of diet you are on and the effects of Ketosis.

I've never given it enough credence to even pay attention to it before, and pretty much assumed everything you say. Today caught my attention in a "whoa!" way.  But now that I'm thinking in those kinds of terms, I think I'll see what weight I can get to by Christmas, out of curiosity.

Thanks for confirming my thoughts!

Eh, shut up with your logic. It's more fun to flip the screen off. ;)

LOL, I teeter back and forth between "Oh that will be awesome" and "I hope it doesn't take that long"

I've been using MFP for a couple of years now, and since surgery, just for fun, I go 5 weeks ahead and type in the projected weight with a question mark. When I get to that date I laugh and put in my actual weight. Well - yesterday, for the very first time, it was exactly right! (So I laughed and replaced the ? With an !)
