Dude, are you purposefully eating 1200 calories most days or are you being inaccurate with your logging? If you're purposefully under eating by that much kiss your muscles good-bye.
Yea I'm doing it purposely... I'm not really worried about muscle right now
Plus I don't have any muscle anyway lol just fat

I'll quote you this when you finishing dieting and look terrible because you lost what little muscle you do currently have.
Not preserving LBM is counterproductive as it reduces your TDEE.6 -

^^^ This. Muscles aren't just the bulgy things on your arms. They're also vital to your health and wellbeing.3 -
I was another thread recently reading where the op wanted to lose weight fast, he didn't listen to any of solid advice he was given and went ahead anyway lost a bunch fat and muscle. Now he is trying to rebuild muscle which he doesn't have now and is having a very hard time.
Be careful what you wish for. Good luck.5 -

^ Building muscle is a much slower and more difficult process than retaining whatever muscle you already have. Building muscle also involves fat gain along with the muscle, in at least a 1:1 ratio (and that's if you're lucky).
Losing weight without regard to retention of lean body mass often results in reaching goal weight and discovering that you're just a smaller, saggier, droopier version of your former self. Not exactly the result most people envision when they start the process.2 -

Not to mention the guys who show up going "halp, I was under eating for months and now my hair is falling out and my libido is nearly non-existent."2
