Adjusting Calorie Intake on MFP

Quick question (maybe a stupid question?):
If I've lost 11 lbs so far, should my calories be adjusted down some? I mean, I am still at 1910 calories, but instead of 1 lb a week, now it says at this level I will lose .9 lb a week. Shouldn't it adjust down with weight loss, and how do I do it? The BMR calculator says it should be at 1905 now, which is only 5 calories difference, but I thought the diary would adjust?

MFP will prompt you to recalculate your goals after every 10 pounds since the last time you tweaked your goals, but you can just click through the options on goals to have the readjusted at any time. It seems to be about 10 calories per pound.0

If you go into the set up and hit save it will force the re-calculation for you0
