It's not a race. Losing face increases the chances you'll just gain it back, if not just end up binging because of such a low net.
Change your goal to 0.5lb a week loss. If you aren't aware, the # that it gives you is the net so you should be eating your exercise calories back.

ETA: If you are more concerned about body composition, then make sure you are including strength/resistance training into your weekly exercise routine.0 -

My guess would be a year at a .5#/week loss. It really depends on what vismal said.0 -

I hope you mean 1200 calories net after eating those 500 calories back (ie 1700 calories a day) otherwise you are eating at a huge deficit for someone your size in a way that is liable to harm your health more than help it.0 -
This link can be helpful, but try not to get frustrated if your progress deviates from this projection! There are lots of factors that play into this and a computer simply can't keep track of them all.
