I just want to lose enough weight that when I brush my teeth my boobs don't jiggle.

I'm trying to lose fat, somewhere between 15 and 20 pounds. I'm 5'10".

Would you care to elaborate please? I'd like to understand why, given that I'm above the suggested daily minimum of 1,200 and my body isn't telling me to eat more.

Thanks for the advice. I must be weird, because I honestly feel like I could eat the same things every day, although who knows if that will change in a week or two. I think what I'll do instead is, as suggested by maroonmango21, have a few go to meals that I know I can mix and match to meet my requirements every day. That…
