Changing settings from calories to weight loss?? Help!

I started this week on the standard 1200 a day settings and want to change it to a goal of losing 1lb a week instead. I can't for the life of me find where I can do this! When I go to my Goals tab it allows me to change the cals but not the weight loss value. It's probably somewhere really simple but I can't find it!
Help appreciated thank you

Thanks Hilary
I I'd that but it only displays calories and the micro stuff and workouts that are editable. Projected weight loss from what I enter adjusts the loss per week but I can't edit the calculations to switch to give me goals to achieve a pound a week rather than calories determining what the projection will be
I'm using Safari on an iPad, I wonder if some functions just aren't available on it, I'll go check on a computer later on. Thank you0 -
On the PC I go to settings then update profile, on Android I go to the circular icon at the top right, then select edit profile.
Good luck!0 -
