Vivofit adjustment suddenly dropped to less than half

I am hoping to get a clarification here. I am setup as sedentary on here and have a vivofit I used to count my steps and adjust my activity level. Up to last week I used to get about 300-400 calories for 10-11k steps a day. I am 150.5 lbs currently ( started at 162). The last two days I only barely get 150 calories a day for about the same number the steps. What is going on?

    Double check your settings. I had that happen with Map My Walk and it turned out that the weight they had for me was 100 lb lighter than my actual weight.

    Thanks. I finally discovered the problem! The vivifit was still in the wrong time zone and the estimate of calories current was completely wrong. I changed the time zone in the MFP and didn't see how to change it in the vivofit. Since the hours were correct in the watch, I thought it was no big deal. I was wrong!
