I am 5'2 and I weigh 128.8 pounds. My BMR is about 1300 calories. If I am eating the minimum of 1200 calories, won't it take like a month to lose one pound?

    nah that's aiming for half a pound a week, which is a perfectly reasonable goal for someone of your height and weight just now!

    BMR isn't what your maintenance amount of calories are. 1690 is... if your BMR is calculated right. If you ate 1440 you will lose half a pound a week which is great since you are near goal. Don't eat lower than BMR.
