At what point do the calories adjust downward in Your Daily

Hello,
I have only been using MFP for about 2 weeks and have only lost a few pounds so far, but at least I am heading in the right direction!
My question is do the calories in Your Daily Goal automatically adjust downward as you loose weight? If so, is it every pound, every 5 pounds or how often?
I signed up based on a co-worker and that first day I was shocked at how many calories I was consuming. I guess ignorance is not so bliss after all.

MFP will not adjust your calories automatically. After you lose 10 lbs it will give you a message that *suggests* you adjust your goals, however they do not adjust on their own, you have to actually do it. If you get ready to update your calorie goals, click on 'my home' then click on 'goals' then click 'change goals'.0
