I ate only 1,200 calories today and I have a baby so Im DONE, not cooking more food! My app told me good job, if you keep this up you will weigh 98lbs in 5 weeks!!! WTF?!? Im not trying to become belimic. I wanna loose 2lbs, thats it! Most importantly I love keeping my muscle... Aparently 1200 calories is not enough, I need help! 5'4" 116lbs, 18% bf according to my last measurements.

    Whether you lose weight is up to you. The projected weight loss means nothing if you don't want to lose it. I think you might have your settings wrong. I also personally think you shouldn't lose anything more at your height. That is just my opinion though. I'm 5'3 and my goal is 117

    You are aiming to lose 2 pounds? Is it just because you have the need to see a specific number on the scale or that you think you have 2 pounds of body fat that need to go? If you are aiming to be leaner maybe you should maintain weight and lift weights to change your body composition.
