    Find your BMR and don't eat below that. See how that works for you.

    ^^^ yeah that, and if you fall below your BMR with exercise DO eat back those calories.

    THIS ^^^

    1200 is generally way too low for most!

    Here is a plan to keep on track with weight loss. courtesy of gp79.

    1. Calculate your TDEE.
    2. Create a 25% deficit and eat this amount regularly. Eat balanced.
    3. Eat 1g protein per lb of lean body mass
    4. Excercise 3 x per week.
    - you won't be doing planks at your weight. I don't know why someone even suggested this.
    - do what you are capable of doing. Incline walk, walk, jog at a level of intensity where it's slightly challenging to maintain a conversation.
    - incorporate some resistance training if you find it enjoyable. If you feel like you don't have a good understanding of it or lack the knowledge of what to do, research and ask for help. Otherwise I suggest focusing your efforts on cardio.
    5. Drink water throughout the day.
    6. Patience, persistence and willpower / discipline to keep on a plan.

    Eating correctly is 80% of it. It took your life to get to where you are today and it will be no easy task to undo what's done.
