Weight remaining calculation, Time left?
Hi there, on the stats screen it appears that weightbot, is not calculating the remaining data properly. Under progress remaining it shows the original weight to be lost without taking into account what has been lost already. (this is same as your image on iTunes). Also what is Time Left meant to show. Thanks for a great app.
I’m unsure

Inappropriate?Hey Peter,
The progress remaining looks correct in our itunes screenshot. It shows the total weight planned on being lost is 14.6lbs and the user has already lost 2.1lbs. Progress Remaining says 12.5lbs because that's how much left they have to lose at this point.
As far as the Time left goes, that's the estimated time you will reach your goal based on the blue trend line (in the graph view). It's just an estimate and is more accurate as you enter more weight data. -
Inappropriate?Agree there is a fault here somewhere. I'm weighing in once a week, and have lost weight every single time (no increases) and it's been a steady loss (no wild fluctuations). Its been 42 days and 7 weigh-ins. So far, I've lost 11.8 lbs with 24.8 remaining (ie. I've lost approx 1/3rd of my target in 42 days. That should mean approx (give or take a few days) i should be looking about 84 days remaining, yet it is suggesting 255 days remaining.
I recognise this as an error in the calculations, but others might find it more disheartening and given up, thus negating the whole point of the moving average line.
I’m frustrated
