    I am not 100% sure, however if you are eating under your calorie limit you should try eating a little bit more. Not sure how you body works but if you are under the 1200calories every day you body might be going into starvation mode and that will hinder you from weight loss... might wanna look into eatting 1300 calories for a week and see if there is any improvement. If there isnt, all youve really lost is a week :)

    You calorie intake is way too low for your activity level, your body is basically holding onto fat in order to survive aka the dreaded starvation mode.

    Sounds like you are not eating enough. If you are working out so much, you might want to actually eat your full 1200 calories, and try to eat some of your workout calories back. You could be putting your body into starvation mode.

    My intitial reaction is to say - stop "starving yourself" (your words).

    Eat more, exercise less and while you're taking a break, read this:

    Maybe you need to research about how metabolism works. Exactly what Rubybelle has linked to.
