The idea is that when you first enter a goal, you are up to date as far as results go, since the goal represents your current snapshot in time. This is why there are no new results to enter, right after you create a goal. You will need to wait till the first update period you have set arrives, before you can enter new results (the default update period is two weeks, but you can set it to as often as daily if required).
Regarding three bars in the Progress screen:
Action completion rate: The idea here is that when you defined your goal, you also defined what actions you think need to be completed to reach the goal. So the rate here tells you whether you are on target to reach the actions you defined. 100% means you are on track. Greater than 100% means you will exceed the actions you defined.
Consider the following scenario: You want to lose 25 pounds in 100 days. You decide that to do so, you need to run 100 miles. After 10 days if you have run 10 miles, then your action rate will show 100%, since if you keep up this pace, you would reach 100 miles in 100 days. If you have run more than 10 miles, your rate will be greater than 100% and if you have run less than 10 miles than your rate will be less than 100%, meaning you will need to pick up your pace.
Target completion rate: Similarly, the target completion rate is based on the targets you set for yourself and whether the current values you enter during your update periods match the pace you set during the goal creation or not.
Goal completion: This bar tells you what percentage of the goal you have completed so far.
Hope that answers your questions - if not, please let me know what else I can help with. If you have ideas for improvement, please let me know!
