    1200 calories seems pretty aggressive for someone who only wants to lose about 12 Lbs.

    Why? She is a small person. I weigh 20 lbs more than her and my goal to lose 1/2 lb a week is 1200 also.

    My wife is a small person as well...she loses about 1 Lb per week on 1800 calories. She exercises regularly, but nothing crazy...basically a 3 mile run 4-5 days per week and one session in the weight room on Friday and we walk together with the dog most days. She has a desk job and is 47 yo. She is 2 inches taller, but I find it hard to believe that 2 inches is a difference of 400 calories.

    I'd wager most people would be pretty hungry on 1200 calories...and that they should probably be more active and increase their NEAT and TDEE if that is all they can eat unless they're pretty dang old.
