What do the different colored lines mean on the weight chart?

I'm not sure of the exact numbers, but I think it is red until you get 25% to your goal, then orange until 50%, then yellow until 75%, then green until you finally hit blue at around 95% to goal.
Someone who is busier than you is working out right now.
There will come a day when you can no longer do this. Today is

Thanks erika2633. That makes sense.
shmiller my goal is to lose 51 lbs. To date I have lost 24. My lines started out red and now they are orange. Thank you for your answer.

It doesn't always keep up with you, though. My weight is currently 170, but my "ticker" isn't moving. Not sure why. It does on my Weight History, but not on forum posts. Whatevs.
Well done, pdonathan. Go to the grocery story and pick up two ten-pounds bags of potatoes and a bag of sugar and carry them around the store awhile. Then you'll see what an accomplishment that is!

Even though fat doesn't count in Atkins, it can cause you to gain or not lose weight if you consume too much. Be careful of over eating this nutrient. ie: cream, cream cheese.
