Should you change your calories after you lost weight? (to lose more weight)

NovusDies

I just checked... At my current stats I only have to get to 520 years old for my TDEE to be around zero.

Just adjusted mine. 30 calories less a day after about a 5lb loss.

Least fun reward for losing weight ever

I currently have a lot more to lose and am sitting at an average of 4.8 lbs per week (down 29lbs in 42 days. SW - 457), I figure I wont change my calorie goal until I'm under 1 lb per week, then I'll consider a revamp based on how happy I am with my current progress at the time. I'm sitting at a goal of 2500 calories. Most days I'm under by a fair bit, but some days I'm over. If this is the caloric goal I stick to for the rest of my life, I'll be pretty happy.

I thought they auto-adjusted

Mine definitely auto-adjust when I update my weight.

I started in June at 140lbs, 1370 cal/day and as I've logged weight loss, it has slowly moved me down 10 - 20 calories at a time to now 126lbs, 1290 cal/day. I figure when I get to 125, it'll auto-adjust again to 1280 because that's how its been going. I've never manually adjusted the calories.

Do you have MFP premium? I'm asking because mine did not automatically update and I use the free edition.

No. My account was initially opened in 2012 so maybe it's a thing with older accounts?

It happened today: I logged my weight as 125.6 and took new measurements and it dropped me another 10 calories so I didn't even get to 125.0 before losing another 10.

Apparently I am headed all the way down to 1200 which I feel like might be difficult for me.

Same with me. I just added a 3 pound loss and my calories were cut by 30 . So it does auto adjust. Maybe it's a setting people have to turn on.
