Over-Doing-It or Under-Doing-It???

Ok MFP peeps..I am just wondering, some days at my job I am literally all over the place and do a ton of walking. Up until now I haven't been counting that as calories burned/exercise. I just count my daily P90x workout and/or my running. I got to thinking, I am not loosing the weight like I should be (with eating 1200 calories and exercising at least 6 days a week). Could this be because I am still eating too few calories or could it be because I am burning off more than I am tracking hence I am not eating the minimum of 1200 calories like I think I am??? Help me out here. What are your thoughts? Your expert opinions?

    You're prbly eating under your BMR, let alone enough to fuel your active lifestyle. You definitely need to up the calories.

    If you aren't already, make sure you are determining your calorie intake by using an "active" setting.
