Another couple things is you should be eating every 3-4 hours or you go into starvation. Even if you aren't hungry you should have a protein or something. I don't think you're eating enough calories either. How much are you wanting to lose? If you have it set at 1 lb a week I would try to switch to 1/2 a week and that will increase your daily calories. Eating too less can cause negative effects.0

oh and i'm not sure if you can see my profile but i'm 5ft 10inches and weight 166lbs - i'd like to loose about 20lbs which is what i was before the last couple of years when i was forced to be more sendentary....
1200 is way too low for your height/weight.... If you change your settings to lose 1lb a week, your daily goal would be 1400. If you change it to 1/2lb a week, it would be 1650/day --- and this probably what you should choose since you don't have much to lose.
As weird as it sounds, eating more will probably be helpful -- and this means eating back at least half if not all of your exercise calories when you. Otherwise you're just adding more deficit on top of your already build in deficit -- and you're starving yourself...0
