Recalculation for Calories

So I'm pretty much at my goal weight. My first goal weight and my 2nd are only 5 lbs. apart. For my 2nd goal weight I was just wanting tone, but I'm still losing. MFP keeps wanting me to recalculate. I click and it just brings me to measurements. Since I'm only at 114 lbs. now, and I'll probably get to 110 lbs. I don't want to end up below that. Right now I just want to tone. So what am I supposed to recalculate as I assume I probably should be eating more since it's pretty much for the tone now.

    I reached my first goal and recalculated my calories to maintain my weight so I did. I decided I wanted to lose about 4-5 more lbs but I stayed at the maintain level, however I am still losing weight at that, which I am ok with right now. But when I get to that weight of 115 I think I will be like you, not wanting to go much lower. I found that I am so used to eating at the lower level of calories it has been hard for me to eat more. So I guess my question is did you change your profile to maintain current weight?

    The thing is I had not logged into MFP in 2 weeks or more I think. I swear I thought that I would come back and gain. I instead continued to lose. I lost 3 lbs. while gone, and honestly I wasn't even doing my work-outs. I wasn't starving myself. I was just eating like my calories call for. I wasn't even weighing my meat or anything either, so I wasn't always sure if I was within or not. Yeah, I think I'm just used to it. Boy, is it going to be difficult to up my calories!!
