ok so here is my question? If I start loosing weight am I suppose to adjust my profile to the new weight I am now at? Or do I keep my profile the same from when I first started. For example let's just say I started at 150 pounds but now I weigh 135 pounds should I go in my profile and change it to what I am now or keep it at 150. I am so confused!!! Also my calorie goal was 1500 however I burned 300 in excercise so does that mean I now need to eat 1800? Please Help! I will be at work until 6:00 and gone for the weekend so let me know thanks!!!

If you "check-in" with a new weight the system will automatically update. You can add a ticker-in Tools, I think, that will track your progress. If you don't eat enough calories your body will shut down thinking it's starving. So, yes, you should try to eat those 300 (or at least some) exercise calories. Seems counter intuitive but most of us have found that eating exercise calories results in more weight loss or can bump you off of a plateau. Good luck and have a good weekend!0

I update my goals with my new weight at least every 10 pounds. And yes, you should be eating your exercise calories.0

I update mine every Sunday after I weigh In. Have weighed in 3 times and it has changed each time. Only by around 10-15 calories each time but still if I would have waited then it would have been a much bigger change and I would have been eating those calories when really I should have had less.0
