I started this morning with 592 calories for the day. I entered 1 cup of tea with 0 calories, and my calorie allotment went to 584. Zero calories were entered. I don't get it. why did it go down?

wow 101.5 is so little. I can't imagine worrying about calories at that weight let alone wanting to lose more. But, I also don't know how old you are or tall so perhaps it is right on target. As far as your question about the calories, I am not sure. It does seem strange. I never looked at the up and down when I was counting, I just look at the day as whole. I wonder if others have seen this and will chime in. Anyhow.. cheers to health and happiness!

I used to have an app where I recorded every calorie, to the point where I never started eating until I counted all the calories on my plate.
  Then I just decided to delete it and start eating intuitively on time, but still sticking to a healthy diet.
But then I lost a lot of weight due to stress at work.
  Now I understand that it's not about calories, it's about eating normally healthy, most importantly on time and of course le

I have been losing a lot of weight lately without really trying. This last 6 pounds is proving to be difficult. I keep going up and down. Right now, I eat whatever I want, whenever I want. I make sure to enter everything on the website. I am down to 101.4, so I am very close to my goal. I don't really know how to maintain, so that will be another challenge for me. I have been very fat, and very skinny my whole life. (Even normal at times!) I do try to eat very healthy, but I sneak in a treat every once in a while.  Since i will be getting some medical tests done soon, I will ask my doctor's for more assistance on maintenance.

Thanks again!

Thank you for your response. I'm 4'10". I'd like to get to 90 or 95 Lbs. That's ok for me. I've been there before. I found that the very low and often changing calorie allotment had me gaining weight. I switched back to an easier plan that's not so restrictive, and I actually started losing weight on more calories!

Thanks again!
