Greatest Weight Loss Book . . . Ever!
I am a skeptic. A number of diet trends and diet books abound promising great results but often end up disappointing. Last weekend I was in Target when yet another diet book caught my eye. A few cursory glances told me it looked good enough to purchase (after all, if I didn't like it, I'd return it). What a wonderful…

Net calories according to the MFP reports.......

Probably a dumb question!
OK so this site calculated a 1200 cal per day allowance for me. When I work out daily, I usually burn 300+ calories, between the elliptical, walking and weights. So the site says I have earned x amount of calories from my work out. Does that mean I get to eat more calories, or do I still need to stick to the 1200. 1200 is…
