    I think that MFP does it for you..To be sure I would go and "change" your settings.

    It was said that MFP does it after every 10 lb lost unless you customize your settings. If so then you will have to do it manually unless you set it back to MFP suggestions.

    Go under My Home, Goal, Click Change Goals and chose the option of customize if you want to do it yourself.

    I believe if you have your "goals" page set to 'automatic" then MFP will adjust that for you each time you weigh in, in order to keep you at the rate you chose to lose it.

    MFP will tell you it is time to change your settings after about 10 pounds. Then you just go back to your goals with your current weight and let it recalculate.

    on your home page - if you click on the button marked check in it gives you the option to enter
    your current weight and then it will automatically recalculate calories.

    just remeber it doesnt ever go below 1200.

    it's really an issue of goals. If you want to keep losing weight, keep doing what you've been doing. If you are moving into a maintenance phase, then you can probably up your calories a bit.

    Also, if you started out sedentary and have added muscle (or conditioned the muscle you already had) then you might be able to add some more calories. You might want to change your fitness profile in settings in this case.

    Go to your homepage. At the top, there's a tab that says goals. Then customize and voila! : )

    I do it after every 10lbs. I go to goals and re-enter the information with my new current weight. I always lose some calories in my daily total but then have a nice big loss until I get closer to the next 10 lbs mark.
