    Yes, add them back to your 1200. Are you losing weight at 1200/day? If you are eating 1200 and burning 950 you are at least 950 below what you need to stay static, again, assuming 1200 is static for you. Taken over a week your total deficit at 4 1hr sessions of cardio/week would be 3800 or a little over 1lb of bodyfat, if you believe the "pound of fat = 3500 calories" rule, see this post for better explanation on accuracy of this rule.. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/153704-myth-or-fact-simple-math-3500-calories-one-pound-eat

    Everyone is different. I recommend you journal your gains or losses weekly and modify your diet/exercise accordingly to lose the weight you are seeking, 2lbs/week, in a safe fashion. Good luck...
