Say we drop 10lbs or 20 or whatever, does the calorie intake for the day adjust to that? Or even 2lbs for that matter? Just wondered about that!

    Yes it does! If you log in your updated weight - it will adjust for that. The change may be small (or no change) if your weight loss is a couple of pounds, but the idea is the smaller you are, the fewer calories you need to maintain your weight.

    It adjusts every 10 lbs - at least it does for me :flowerforyou:

    I've lost what I've lost and the goal has never changed...always 1200

    Thats because you can't go under 1200 calories. If you started out eating more than that it would go down until you get to 1200.

    Also now if I try to set my weight lose for 1.5 pound a week (or more) it switches it to a lower amount, right now it switches it to 1.2 pounds, because by eating 1200 calories a day the most I could lose is 1.2 pounds.

    I'm set for two pounds per week but I've never lost that much per week, always one. It's weird though, I've set my cals for 1 pound and it ups it to 1400. But for some reason I feel yucky about 1400 even though I'm always set for 1200 but usually eat 1400 anyway....it's all in my head. So, I'm set for 1200, never just eat 1200 and am still doing okay.
