BMR Adjustments.

Shouldn't your daily calorie goals adjust downward as you reach your target weight? My start weight is 200 lbs and my goal weight is 173. At 1330 calories a day that gets me to 2 lbs a week assuming AMR of around 2330 ... so that's from a net negative 1000 calories a day. But I as gradually reach my goal weight my BMR calculation calibrates ... so @ 190 lbs wouldn't my BMR go down about 100 calories a day?

    Yes, it will change. After 5-10 pounds of loss, I have it recalculate it for me by going to "change your goal" on this website.

    Sorry... It's in the "Settings" link in the upper right hand corner of the screen, then click "Update diet/fitness profile".

    Just curious, have you plateau'd? If not, I wouldn't do anything to your goals at this point.
