    It's very hard to predict based on the information you have given. Even if you had 2 people with the same stats eating the same calories, their rates of loss will differ.

    But there are a few options that can give you a prediction based on your actual data.

    When you complete a diary entry in MFP, it will give you a prediction about how much you could weigh in a few weeks if every day was like the day you completed.

    Alternatively, have you tried a weight trending app that can do projections? Although it is very unreliable in it's predictions, I use Libra on Android. It can be configured to use your trend weight to make predictions.

    Here is my graph ...

    I was on track to achieve my goal around the beginning of March but then Christmas and New Year happened and my projections have blown out as a result.

    Also 1200 calories is very low. How did you come up with 1200?
