Chemguy is almost at his first goal point. He set it for near the end of June. I'm wondering if he's going to increase the number of calories slightly.

In 5 weeks' time, I'll weigh only 212.8 lbs. :)

How the hell could you possibly know to the decimal what you'll weigh in 5 weeks? Most people's weight varies by a pound or two day to day so the most accurate you could ever possibly get predicting what your weight will be even in 24 hours would be +/- 2 lbs. or so. 5 weeks out? Put some error bars around that sucker for sure.
 
In 5 weeks time, I will weigh something between 125 and 130 lbs., because that's about what I've weighed most of my post-menopausal life thus far (and really less than 10 lbs over what I've weighed most of my adult life). I eat, drink and exercise like a moderate person and it works.

It's my current MyFitnessPal prediction. ;)
 
What if everyday was a bit better than today? What if you substituted a healthier snack or got more exercise? Can you find out the impact of changes you could make? Because that might actually be more of an incentive for users to make changes.

(Yes, I'm checking out this software, though if it doesn't let me track glucose, I might stick with the one I have that does).

Maybe on the Pro version of the app. I'm using the freebie.

What app do you have?
 
I'm curious (not for myself, but for a friend with CKD), if you can use it with different targets. I'd love it if I could tell the old guy what the implications are of diet/exercise choices on his potassium levels, for instance.

You can't do that on the freebie version of MyFitnessPal. Maybe on the Pro version.

It's called GoHealthNow. It's more or less geared specifically to diabetics though they are trying to make it broader now. We actually know the guy who started the company (a prof at Western that my wife knows through the Chinese professors group) and saw him talk about his own struggles with Type 2 diabetes a few years before he started the company.
