Yes, that's right...if you want to be taking in 1200, but you eat 1500, and exercise off 300, its equal to eating 1200. In other words, you can eat what you exercise off, lol!

It's not a great idea to weigh yourself every day. Everyone has fluctuations in their weight (up and down) and looking at it every day will not give you a realistic view of your weight loss. You would be better off weighing at a set time and day every week so these fluctuations even out.
