    The system will promt you to change it when it feels you're ready (usually every 10 lb loss or so).

    Good question maybe you have to pulge in your stats again. New weight new goal and maybe your exercise level has changed as well.

    Every time I weigh in I go to the goals and it changes my calories for me. In almost 2 months I've gone from 1690 to 1590 calories in a day.

    Mine never changed so once a week I go to my goals and update it. The first time id dropped by 100 calories a day, that was a shocker!!!

    I'm confused, I thought the system was supposed to update it for us? How are we supposed to change the calories? What if we over-correct them and do more damage. Help?
