    Dance for 20 minutes and you won't be over anymore.

    Right! Not too hard to deal with.

    But yes, it's okay. You will still lose. If you are consistently over by just a bit but are still under what it would take to maintain your weight, you will still lose, just more slowly.

    If I'm over (which I try not to do too often, but it happens), I go for an extra walk or jog :) don't stress, that's not too bad. Most programs give you a range anyways.

    Its actually good to mix your calories up sometimes. When I first started losing weight I stuck to a certain amount of calories..every now and then I would eat more calories then normal and I would actually lose weight. Google it..when you mix your calories up sometimes it tricks your body..and your metabolism works better!
