I programmed in to lose17# total and was given a calorie count of 1200 calories which would result in a 2# a wk wt loss. After loosing this wt, I wanted to know what caloric intake to maintain this wt loss. I am 64" and my goal wt is 135#. I know it takes a negative of 3500 calories to equal a 1 # wt loss....thanks

    when you get to goal you can switch the settings to maintenance mode and it will give you a set number of cals just like it did for when you put it in weight loss mode...
