How do I change or delete a weight entry in the calendar?
To delete a weight all you have to do is remove the value from the calendar. One way to do this is by highlighting the value with your mouse and hitting your delete key. To change the weight, just remove the previous value using your backspace and delete keys, and correct the value. When you are finished deleting or changing the value, hit your Enter key or tab to a new date.

How can I change my Projection date at the top of the program window?
The Projection field is actually a calculated field based on your weight loss data. So, it cannot be changed directly. Instead, it gets re-calculated each time you enter a new weight in the calendar. It also gets more accurate as you enter more weights.
Please note: the Projection above the calendar is not related to the date in the Goal Planner tool.

My Projection Date (above the calendar) is far into the future. Will it really take that long to hit my goal?
The Projection date is calculated based on the amount of weight that you have lost and your current weight loss pace. When you are just starting out, you may only have a few weights recorded into the calendar and the Projection is far into the future. This is simply because it is too early yet for the program to project your target date.
As with any statistical calculation, more data yields more accurate results, so try recording some future weights into the calendar and watch your projection change dramatically. Once you are convinced that everything is working correctly, simply delete the future data that you have entered.

Why are some of the statistics above the calendar showing "---"?
In some cases your statistical values will be empty. For example, if you have not lost any weight, the program cannot determine how many Lbs/Week you have lost or project a date for when you will reach your goal.

Does Weight-By-Date Pro track my weekly and monthly weight loss?
Yes! As you enter your weight into the calendar, Weight-By-Date Pro automatically totals the pounds lost for that week and month. The weekly totals are shown at the right of the calendar and the monthly total is shown below the calendar.

How often do I have to weigh-in to the calendar?
As often as you feel comfortable. Weight-By-Date Pro does not require you to record your weight each day and will not fabricate data for days that you have missed. None of the weight loss calculations require a daily weight entry. So you can weigh yourself as often as you like and record it into the calendar as you feel necessary. You can't, however, record more than one weight per day.
