calories going lower

I noticed since I lost 2 lbs my calories allowed went down some. I'm guessing the lower my weight goes the less they let me eat. At the rate of 20 calories for 2 lbs by the time I lose the 35 lbs I want to lose I won't be having much to eat :ohwell:

They will never make your calories go under 1,2000

that's weird...mine only goes down every 10 or so pounds0

It does drop every so often, but it won't drop under 1200, when it gets to that point, the amout you'l lose a week goes down instead!
What's also slighlty disheartening is that as your weight drops, the cals burned for each exercise drops slightly too!0 -
I noticed this as well. I am well over 230lbs and I decided that I needed to revamp my goals of losing 2pds a week. I decided to up my calories because I was feeling super hungry and I was losing weight at a really fast rate so I decided to change my goal from 2 pounds to 1 !/2 pounds a week. You also have the option of making your own goal if you feel hungry...also if you excercise that adds calories as well.0

It will never put you under 1200/day... and if you want to eat more, you just need to earn it by moving your butt more0
