Daily Target Weight Calculator

You will not exactly hit each daily target. Daily fluctuation is normal and healthy.

Your current weight:
Your target weight:
Rate of weight change per week: (2 pounds per week is a maximum healthy weight loss limit)
Precision of output / your scale:

You may use whatever units (pounds, kilograms, etc.) you like, as long as they are all the same. You can also enter percentages per week. 1% seems to be a good maximum limit. 0.5% seems like a more maintainable goal.

This will print target weights for every day until your weight goal, at whatever rate you specify.

Trying to achieve a weight goal can be hard. Trying to do it at a consistently healthy rate is harder. I find these daily goals to be much easier to work with. Please keep in mind that day to day fluctuations are common and healthy. You will not hit most of these exactly, and that's okay.

My scale is accurate to 0.5lbs, so I find it useful to see these values at the same precision.
