Hello, i've been doing MFP for a few months and i'm kinda confused. I'm 57,5ft tall & workout 6 days a week, 3miles a day & also do 30min segment of lower, upper & ab workouts in addition. One day of the week I did a 5mi workout. Of course I'm giving each a day of rest on the 30 min segments. I've lost 38 pounds in about a couple of years doing different wgt loss plans. Since adding additional 30 min segments, i've noticed i went up a few pounds. My friend says it's because of that. I do use 6lb wgts for arms & fit cuff for legs. Could that be the reason for wgt gain? Also, I have my goals set at 1200 & eat my exercise calories. Why does it tell me at the end of the day I'm under my calories? Please explain the Goal, Food, Exercise & Net thing for me or please direct me to that section! I'm so confused and upset with scale showing more!!! I hate scales. My clothes fit fine, tho. I'm more interested in inches but the #s on the scale bother me. At one time I had upped my Goal #'s but I lost my weight with 1200 calories & eating my workout calories and so my sister in law who is a registered dietician says i need to start at 1200 & eat my calories worked out. CONFUSED HELP Thank you!
