I am fairly new and was wondering why my calorie goal keeps going up as I loose weight. Shouldn't it stay the same to loose weight

    do you mean why your calorie goals increase as you exercise? Because MFP wants you to eat back some exercise calories.

    as you lose weight, if you stick to MFP guidelines, your calories will actually decrease (iirc)

    or do you mean something else altogether?

    Are you logging exercise> Because it will adjust daily for the exercise you log. If not and you are losing MFP steps you down about 100 calories (I might be off here a bit) each time you lose around 10 pounds. :) Hope this helps
