    You're getting this message because you are suppose to eat the calories earned through exercise. Your daily deficit it already built into your "goal calories" so you don't even need to exercise to lose weight.

    You're lost 12lbs, that's quite a lot, how long have you been stuck for?

    Have you ever used something like this http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/ to calculate your BMR and TDEE?
