Date	Revision	Changes	Known Issues
July 27, 2005	Version 1.00	Initial release	Occasionally an input entry will not be accepted (resulting in an error beep). The workaround is to select the entry by double-clicking and then deleting it with the <delete> key. Selecting with the mouse and deleting does not always work, nor does deleting individual characters. Alternatively, quit and restart Weight2Weight.

Weight2Weight uses a Current weight, a New weight, an Activity level, Height and Age to calculate the Calories required each day to sustain these weights, and their associated Body Mass Indices (BMI). It also can estimate the weight change after a given number of days, or the number of days needed to reach a target weight for a change in caloric intake. It includes provisions for metric and English units, different daily Calorie requirements for male or female and five activity levels, plus options for three different calculated basal Calories/day/lb estimates and a custom Calories/day/lb.

NOTE: THE AUTHOR DOES NOT RECOMMEND OR ENDORSE ANY SPECIFIC WEIGHT LOSS OR GAIN PROGRAM. ONE SHOULD ALWAYS CONSULT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL BEFORE STARTING ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN NUTRITION. WEIGHT2WEIGHT IS INTENDED ONLY AS AN ENTERTAINING TOOL TO CALCULATE THE ESTIMATED THEORETICAL EFFECTS OF CHANGES IN CALORIC INTAKE. THE WEIGHT2WEIGHT CALCULATION RESULTS ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE REFLECTIVE OF WHAT AN INDIVIDUAL MAY EXPERIENCE.

While the accuracies of the calculations have been confirmed in testing with 'reasonable' values, there has not been extensive testing of the algorithms over the entire range of possible inputs. The author is not responsible for any errors that may occur. And remember, contrary to popular belief, you do not always get what you pay for, but you always pay for what you get.
