    it looks like you might have done something wrong...
    my calorie intake is 1300
    I mean that's a humongous difference?!

    yeah thats just a little high. mine is around 1800 so something is wrong with the math in there. i would post in the tech forum to see if there is a quick fix

    where you reading that number? Is that on your home page "net calorie goal"?
    If it is on your home page as you "net calorie goal" then it's probably a mistake. Try reentering you info.

    Go to My Home and then goals and double check your goal weight. Is there an extra number in there or something? If nothing else, go to change your goals and re-save and see if that makes the difference.

    check your height entry. . .this has happened before to people who entered centimetres vs. inches or something similar. . .

    just to double check.

    yeah, what viviakay said. You can switch to metric in the Settings section of your My Home page. Then re-enter your stats.
