Your goal is at or above your current weight, so there is nothing to project.
How the Goal Weight Date Calculator works
Seeing a date rather than a number changes how a goal feels. This works backwards from your target and your weekly rate to a calendar date, and flags when the rate you have chosen is faster than is sustainable.

Frequently asked questions
What is a realistic rate of weight loss?
0.5-1% of body weight per week. For a 90 kg person that is roughly 0.45-0.9 kg weekly; for a 60 kg person, 0.3-0.6 kg. Rates above 1% are increasingly likely to cost lean mass, and the closer you already are to lean, the more that matters.
Why is my actual progress slower than the projection?
Because the projection assumes a constant deficit, and a lighter body burns fewer calories. Unless you adjust intake or activity as you go, the same diet produces a smaller deficit every month. Real curves flatten; straight-line projections do not.
Should I aim to lose weight quickly or slowly?
Slower is usually better for keeping it off. Faster loss costs more lean mass, is harder to adhere to, and is more strongly associated with regain. The exception is when there is a medical reason for rapid loss, which belongs under clinical supervision.
Does the scale go down steadily?
No, and expecting it to causes a lot of unnecessary discouragement. Water shifts from salt, carbohydrate, stress and menstrual cycles routinely swamp a week of fat loss. Weigh daily under the same conditions and read the weekly average, not any single day.
