So, I should aim for between 1364 and 1212 cals per day, to achieve a loss of approx 1/2 lb a week?

Thanks for the reply! Yes I am a good healthy weight, I am only looking to drop a couple of pounds to feel more comfortable in my clothes. I lost weight last year (to 123lbs) and have crept up a few lbs since Christmas. I want to keep on top of it now, so would rather have only a couple of pounds to lose, rather than let…

The TDEE says I should eat just over 1200 cals per day. Not sure what MFP means??? I set the app so that I would lose 2lb per week, then I thought I would increase cals when I reached my desired weight of 9stone.

The TDEE was calculated with little or no activity. I thought I would lose weight quicker on 1200 cals?

I appreicate I am probably within "normal" weight range, but having weighed 9stone most of my adult life, being over 10st feels quite uncomfortable. That and the wardrobe of clothes I can no longer fit into!

Seems like mostly carbs and protein from the calculation online.

I think that was a scale error, as it is back up today!

No specific exercise, apart from housework etc
