I am trying to lose about 80 pounds, so I am working out a LOT, 1-2 hours a day. Trying to get a jump start on my losing. So I am burning about 1000-1200 calories a day in aerobics and treadmill, I take 1-2 days a week off of working out.. I am set at a 1200 calorie a day diet. Do I need to up my calorie intake to keep working out this much? I did over 600 min of workouts = 5800 calories burned, last week and only lost 1.4 pds this week. I have too much to lose to stall out now. Looking for advise on how to keep going.
I guess I should say that I have been on MFP since early July and have lost 22 pds as of today. Glad for the loss but need to keep going forward.

    You should probably do less cardio and more strength, IMHO. No need to work out 2 hours a day either.
