    Well 1200 may not be a lot of calories, but as I said I have trouble getting to that goal each day. I did put down I'd like to lose 2 lbs but MFB has me on a 1/2 lb goal at the 1200 calorie rate. My activity is limited to none other than walking my dog a couple times a day. He's overweight too.

    MFP won't go lower than 1200 calories no matter what you set as your weekly weight loss goal.
    MFP can & does go lower than 1200. I have mine set lower.

    Do you really need to eat a set amount of calories per day to loose weight?

    Yes, you need to be at a deficit every day to lose. Sorry, its just science.
    Wrong.
    I lost my weight eating at maintenance five days a week and two days at deficit. Maths is science.
