    As you lose weight your body requires less energy to move it, keep it warm etc because there's less of it.

    You'll still have been given fewer calories at some point, well, either that or you'll have started to gain weight!

    If you lost weight, that's probably your answer. You'll get fewer and fewer.

    The more you lose, the harder it gets!

    You can change it back manually if you want! You might just lose a bit more slowly, which is recommended anyway as you get closer to your goal. How much are you set to lose per week?

    Yep, we must accept that losing the fat has drawbacks weighed against the rewards. I lost over 90 pounds and went through this grief 9 times.
    I EMBRACE IT!

    When it gets "too low" it's time to change your weekly weight loss goal.
