I'm in my 6th week on MFP. Down 21.6 pounds and there is no change in the calorie goal. Does MFP have set weigh in amounts that you must reach for it to go down? I'm thinking due to my starting weight I may have not lost enough for it to change yet. I have 200 to lose.

    What's your calorie goal set at?

    Usually it prompts an update in goals when you have lost 10 lbs. The only reason (other than a glitch) that I can think that it wouldn't is if you are already at the minimum calorie goal.

    I actually had this same problem. In the past it would prompt me to update my setting after 10 pound loss. This time around it didn't so when I hit 13 pounds I just decided to do it myself.

    If you login on the normal website go to:
    <Settings>
    <Update Diet Profile>
    It should already have your current weight, but adjust if needed. Save changes and BAM it will give you your new calorie allowance. Mine went down 100 calories.

    If you have 200 lbs to lose, it's not going to change for a long time. The max setting is 2 lbs a week. So your MFP goal is going to reflect that deficit.
