To think 1200 calories a day isn’t enough?

[Tigerwhocamefortea]

I have always been slim and been lucky not to carry weight, however after having my second DC I am at least a stone heavier than I want to be and need to do something about it.

I tried using Myfitness plan to log things and based on losing 2lb a week, which I thought was a sensible slow amount, it it tells me I can only eat 1200 calories a day! Surely this is far too few?

NOT understand ...

Is 10 stones even overweight at 5ft 7?

Blueandredandblue no, its a bmi of 22.

I know that barbs I've currently got a carton of them in my fridge but I ADD them to whole eggs for extra protein (and to make meringues). I don't just make omelets without yolks. They are tasteless and a bit wanky.
