app doubts

Hello, I am new and I am very confused, forgive me for this.
what is the difference between starting weight and
actual weight?
How do I calculate the calories, if what I want is to lose weight? Thank you.

    Starting weight is your weight when you started.  Current weight is what it is now.  At the beginning they are the same.  After a while, current weight will be less than starting weight.  

    In order to lose weight, you need to eat fewer calories than you burn daily.  That's different for everyone.  There are a number of calorie calculators online, I'd suggest doing several and looking at middle ground.  Or you can take a simple short cut and choose a number.  1,200 is the lowest recommended caloric goal for women, so that's what I use.

    Once you have your daily caloric goal, CM can calculate your macros, or I can help you with it.
