    Possibly you aren't eating enough. 1200 is pretty low. Are you eating your exercise calories back?

    are you doing strength training (what kind of cardio)? What is your maintenance calories? Are you sure you are tracking your calories right? Are you weighing the same time of day with the same scale?

    If you are new to working out then it could be your muscles retaining water. And as already mentioned, you need to be eating at least a majority of your exercise calories back.
