I would turn off the calorie adjustment. Just count steps per day not calories.

Finally I found the right amount. 1500 calories. 150 protein, 120 carbs and 52 fat. I have continued weight training f 4 x a week, daily walks 30-60 minutes and I have lost 14 lbs in 8 weeks. I think t her magic began with balance of macros and calories.

Update- 8 weeks and down 14 pounds AND weight training. This is the most successful I have been in years.
