I started my journey on Jan 3, 2012 and have lost 67 pounds in that time. The last several months I have hit a snag. I have fluxuated between gaining 2 pounds losing 2 pounds. My question is, after being on 1200 calories for over a year, should my caloric intake be reduced?

NO.
At this point, and I know it sounds strange, you need to raise your calories. The closer you get to goal weight, the more that you can eat. Read this link and you should understand this whole process much more fully.

Thank you so much, this article was enlightening and I will try this. I was getting so frustrated, I am over 1/2 way to my goal weight and I do not want to stop now.
Thanks so much!0
