Calorie goal

I started on this website at the beginning of the year with my set goals. I have lost about 35 lbs. so far. My question is since I weigh less shouldn't my calorie goal be less too if I want to continue to lose at the same rate? It is still the same as when I started. Does this website automatically update this goal or do I have to do something to update it? Thank you in advance for the answers.

    Go to goals and recalculate. It should have prompted you to update after losing 10 pounds if you aren't set to the 1500 calorie minimum.

    OP is a male, so minimum would be 1500.

    Thanks for the answers. I will go and do that. I was above the 1500 and I never noticed the prompt to recalculate.
