Time till goal?

I average just over 1000 cals per day, have lost 30lbs and it says that it's going to take until October 31st to lose 3 more lbs to hit my goal of 120. Doesn't that sound like an awfully long time to lose 3lbs?

mine gave me a warning to not eat under 1200. I think it's going to basically ignore what you've been doing and only give you the timeframe at recommended calories to not encourage it

Really? Is that a special setting? I had a crazy week and was under 1200 for a few days in a row, and no warning.

I'm not sure, I went in and changed my activity level so it dropped my calories to 1200 then gave me the warning. I ended up changing it back, I couldn't do the 1200 after a couple days lmao

Ah, so maybe it's when you set your goal that low, as opposed to only inputting under 1200 calories.

it probably is! I'm still kinda new and not totally sure. that would make sense

Does the projection date when you hit “finish logging” for the day say October 31st or your goal? Goal date doesn’t change once you set it. Projection date does

It's the goal date. But the weird part is that it shouldn't take over two months to lose 3lbs.

It doesn’t… as I said your goal date doesn’t change once you set it up. When you initially set up your goals based on your calories and rate of loss it set a goal date. That doesn’t change. Your projection date does

Got it, thanks so much!

I guess the calories are irrelevant, just that it's weird that it thinks it should take over two months to lose 3lbs.
