It doesn't matter how slow you go, so long as you do not stop.
If hunger isn't the problem, food isn't the answer
And eating 1200 calories when your BMR is way over is silly. Know your BMR and TDEE and eat between the two.

The best kind of exercise for you is the kind that you will actually do. It doesn't matter if it's insanely beneficial if you hate it, you won't stick with it.0

The one I have learned for myself and keeps me on track is planning planning planning. Every night before I go to bed I post what I plan to eat the next day on MFP (of course), and I usually stick to it. Knowing beforehand leaves less room to stray, and you can do the same with exercise. Log it before you do it and you'll be more likely to follow through.0

-Your looks are 70% diet and 30% exercise.
- understanding how dieting makes you fat, skinny fat
- 1 pound of fat is about three times the size of one pound of muscle.
- 1 pound of muscle burns about 35 to 50 calories a day
- 1 pound of fat burns about 1 calorie a day
- dieting without lifting you loose similar pound amounts of muscle to fat, 1 to 1 for 2 pounds lost. (that's a lot of cals that muscle was burning that you lost)
- with heavy lifting It takes a month to put on 2lbs of muscle.
-since you can gain fat quicker than muscle the dieting cycle leaves you skinny fat by changing body composition to a higher fat percentage.
- when you stop dieting and eat to old patterns you have less muscle to burn calories and put the fat back on quicker.
- lifting heavy and eating protein while on a calorie deficit helps maintain most of the muscle while losing just fat changing yor body composition by lowering your body fat percentage.
- the bottom line is you can be at a lower weight and still have the same tdee ( total daily energy expenditure ) as when you were heavier.
- this let's you eat more and keep the weight off forever while maintaining better fitness on the inside and out!0 -
