Amending your weight as you lose weight???

Hi,
I’m new to this so apologise if this is stupid question. Started out at 15stone, about 95kg I believe, and I lost 5lbs in my first week
So my question is, should I be updating my new weekly weight to therefore adjust my calorie intake? Or does the app do this for you? Or do I just continue with my original daily goal? Confused.com. Or maybe just really thick lol.
Thanks in advance

I track my weight whenever I weigh myself, so I can see my progress. I don't amend my calories as I lose weight because I've only lost like 10 lbs so far which wouldn't make much of a difference on my calorie intake. If you hit a plateau or are feeling starving all the time, then I would say you should adjust your calorie intake.

Yes and no. Like the user above said, 5-10 lbs is not a lot of calorie difference. If you're sticking to a strict calorie goal then it's worth the consideration. But 10 lb down for me only decreased my calorie goal by 30 calories. Not much of a difference especially when my calories fluctuate by day. You can keep an eye on it and keep changing it but I know that personally it doesn't make a difference to me. It might not for you.

I do log all my weight ins—because I can see trends in how I drop weight and understand fluctuations a bit more.

In order to reset your calorie budget you have to go to the goals again. Just logging your weight won't change it. Once you make a change it will reset to the current weight. I wouldn't worry about it until you're down 20 or so.
