Hello all! My daily calorie goal was set at 1200 at first, I changed things and it went to 1290. I couldn't figure out how to change it back and 1290 seemed too high, so I just still tried to stay under 1200. I never changed anything since, and today when I was logging my menu, I noticed the goal calories are now up to over 1500! That's way too much for me and I don't know why it changed itself. I'm 5'2", SW was 176 and now, almost 4 weeks later, I'm 168 or so. How do I change this back?

    yes, but just the treadmill for 4o minutes. It changed my goal calories though. I messed with it a little bit, I think I got it back to the right goal calories. I was wondering though, as you lose weight, are you supposed to UP your calories? That doesn't seem right?!

    Your calorie goal is NET goal. So if you exercise then those calories are added to your daily total.
