Thread: hmmm predicted progress...

On the Slimming World website they've predicted I won't be at target until 5/7/2017!!!! Hah!! Well I'll just have to prove them wrong lol!! I've been a member for 28 weeks, and I've lost 13lbs so just less than 1/2 a pound a week, surely it shouldn't take me over four years to lose the last 18lbs?! Am I the only one who thinks the predicted progress thing isn't very accurate at all

I've not seen that so I'm going to have a look now and I'll get back to you lol xx

Mmm I've just had a look, it is showing when I may get my club 10 but nothing for target, maybe it's because I'm only on my second week xx

My predicted progress line disappeared completely for a while - my graph looked like a heart monitor. It's back on a downward trend now.

Maybe they're trying not to put too much pressure on you, lol

It is only an estimate on your average weekly weight loss so far. Well thats what I was told x

I wouldnt pay too much attention to that to be honest. Just carry on as you are doing, make little mini targets in your head, little steps and all that. Remember, big oaks from little acorns grow.You will get there when you get there, dont be too hard on yourself by thinking its going to take forever. Little steps, dripping taps fill a bucket, and the tortoise won the race!

Yeah mine said 2014 or something as inspiring as that ha ha

Ooh, mine says I'll reach target in mid January 2013. I think it is a little optimistic as it seems to have forgotten about Christmas eating!

I ingore mine totally its prediciting my target for Dec 2013 - I WILL ​ be at target by April 2013 not hope to be

Haha another site I use says I'll have lost 4-5lbs in 5 weeks when I post my food diary on there so I'm quite happy with that x

Goodness that's not very motivating.

my target date on there gets further and further away somehow despite the fact that my losses have speeded up? I do look at the graph to see in perspective how far I've come and how far I've left to go but I don't pay any attention to the predicted progress line at all as it's rubbish!

I dont think you can really predict too much to be honest. We all know that weeks can vary so much from maintains to small losses to very large ones. I think the best thing to do is to ignore a prediction, that could de motivate some! Just keep going like I said before, small steps and all that!

I don't think my target is set on my SW online? How do I do it please? It shows my Club 10 line, and where my target line should be is just 10lb below so should show up, but I think I need to set it? Thanks

I think mine has been quite good, it predicts i will be at target next tuesday.
