How do I know if it's in starvation mode? I eat 1,200 calories a day but I'm kinda stuck at the same weight. I've tried eating less but nothings working. Help me, please.

If you do some reasearch, starvation mode is largelly a myth. Don't worry about it0

How long have you been at the same weight? And have you taken measurements, or are you going solely on scale weight? And what is your BMR?0

That doesn't help the OP at all. If she is stalled something needs fixing. Perhaps if you open your food diary more people will be able to help you. It's very hard to give advice without knowing more details: food intake, weight, height, BF %0 -
I would suggest eating more.
Dan explains it better than I do.

I actually read a very interesting article yesterday about starvation mode. It's actually an article posted on this site in this forum on 8/19/12by @SHBoss1673. The article/topic is "'Starvation mode," exercise calories, dillema?'" He proves a pretty good point, and if you think about it, it makes total sense. And really, think about it, your body has to start somewhere when you're not eating enough to fuel you're activities. It tries to keep you alive as long as possible so it stores fat to survive. I listed the article below. Additionally, I'm wondering how to meet my 1200 calorie goal and not go over my suggested serving amounts for each food group. Carbs are the hardest for me. Ough.
