Weight, Projected

The body weight you will reach on your target date if you continue eating and exercising as you have for the past 30 days. Diet Power makes this projection by drawing a best-fit straight line through your past 30 days of weight entries in your Body Log. (If you haven't been using Diet Power that long, the program assumes "phantom data" for each missing day, based on your weight, sex, age, and other factors.) The 30-day baseline explains why, even if your actual weight changes rapidly at the beginning of a diet, your projected weight may change only slowly.
