hi, I have lost 11 pounds over my first 5 weeks. However, in the past 8 days I have not lost anything so MFP has now lowered my calories by 70 a day. Is this to help me continue to lose? I have about 4 stone to lose so it's quite a lot.

    MFP lowered your calories? I guess it's because you've lost more than 10 pounds, but that's usually after they prompt you to change it.

    If you haven't lost anything for 8 days, that's okay. Stalls happen. But make sure you're weighing your solids, measuring your liquids, and using the recipe builder instead of homemade or generic entries.

    Don't worry about not losing if you stay honest and keep within the calories it will move again. I've stalled twice and just plugged away at it then boom 4 lb gone in 1 day. As for the calorie reduction mine did that too but then changed back a couple of days later. If you exercise you will earn more calories. I tend not to eat those though.
