Confused about weekly summary - net calories?

On the iphone app, you can view a weekly summary of your progress with calories. Right now it says i'm 222 net calories over weekly goal. I'm just confused because I never really paid much attention to it. Does my weekly total of net calories need to be under to lose weight? If i'm over in net calories does that mean I won't make any progress?

    Your weekly net compares it to your goal. If you are 222 over for your weekly net calories that means that you have gone over your weekly calorie goal. I take it as the idea of balancing out good days and bad days. As long as I end up close to 0 difference at the end of the week, I should meet my goals.
    I hope that makes sense.
