Help with calorie intake please

ljf1976

Hey
I have just read through a whole long topic about BMR and TDDE. I am now even more confused that what I was to begin with!! Sorry but could someone help me figure out how much I should be eating?

I am 5'3" and weigh 108 pounds. My goal is to loose about 10 pounds. According to MFP I should be eating 1200 calories a day? I do JM workouts 5/6 times a week and walk/run 3 times a week.
My measurements are
neck 11.5
hips 30
waist 29

I am a 36 year old mum of 5 and am desperate to loose these last 10 pounds.....can someone please help me?
Thanks
Leah

Currently, at 108 pounds your BMI is 19.1 which is at the lower end of a healthy weight for your height. If you were to lose ten pounds your BMI would be below the healthy limit. You would be underweight which is extremely dangerous. For your height you need to be between 105 and 141 pounds. So, if you went below 105 pounds you would be at risk.

Moral of the story: You don't need to lose weight.
