so I have lost 43 lbs since joining MFP, my question is my calories never changed... so tonight I went into my diet/fitness profile and just simply changed my weight loss goal and it dropped my calories by 160.. why did it not drop them as I went along... whenever i put in my weight I tell it to refigure my goals...

    I t did hat to me yesterday, although not by as much. I went in to try to reset my goals because they had not gone down in a while. as soon as I went in to check, they reset, 30 cal. lower
  • Because the more weight you lose That harder it is for you to burn calories .
  • i understand that... what I am asking is why didn't my calorie goal adjust while I was losing weight... why was it only tonight when I changed my weight goal that it dropped by 160 calories
