Hi, I lost 10 pounds since last weight in.. They said to update information and changet food plan.. My calories I was allowed when I first started was 1,280 a day. Now I lost almost 14 lbs all together and they say my new caloric income now is only 1,200/day.. Why is it less since I lost weight? Thanks

    because the less you weigh, the less calories your body needs

    change your goals to lose 1 pound per week, you may have more cals then

    1200 is too low for a lot of people
