    I am confused. I am supposed to eat 1200 calories a day. I sometimes eat up to 1500 because I expand 400 daily for exercise, but I am stuck and not losing anymore. To lose, it seems, I have to stick to the 1200 no matter how much I exercise.

    That's a bummer.

    And was your weight loss at the 1200 actually hitting what the math said it should be?
    Or less anyway?

    And when you exercise, you are asking your body to make improvements, which usually have little to do with weight loss, but usually fat loss. Therefore, not the scale, the but the tape is what should be used.

    If your body has little to work with, you are getting little improvement from your exercise - might as well stop.
