Adjusting your calories

I have lost 12lbs, when does your calories adjust? Do you do it your self or does go?

    Hi you will need to do that yourself , go through the set up process again with your new weight and it will give you a new goal , well done on your loss so far!

    Not sure you are correct jacquifrench304. I have never adjusted anything since I started, all I do is "check in" to change my weight each week when I weigh myself. When I started in March 2015 MFP gave me a calorie goal of 1790 each day and today it is 1640. This is without any exercise of course. I have lost 60 pounds and my goal is 1.5 pounds per week. So it took a 60 pound loss to change the calories by 150 per day.

    I've noticed sometimes it's automatic sometimes I had to manually update it.

    I think it depends on which app- part of the web site you use to update , sometimes the change has not flowed through for me that way , but the re entry way always has worked

    I always do everything from my computer on the web site and don't even have the phone app (if that is what you meant) so maybe it is a problem with the app. Thanks for clearing that up.
