    If MFP told you to eat 1200 calories a day that is with your deficit already factored in.

    If you find your current maintenance calories - TDEE (total daily energy expenditure)

    http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/

    Then subtract 1200 calories from it.......the difference is the total deficit you take everyday

    With 18 pounds to go you should be looking for a 250-500 calorie difference. Weight loss won't be quick when you are closer to goal.
