Do I need to exercise?

Hi my doctor put me on a 1200 calorie a day diet and said I should do at least 30 minutes of exercise a day. I have been doing an hour to 1 and 1/2 hours every day. Man I would be so much happier if I just counted calories and maybe jogged for 20-30 minutes. Does this sound good? I guess I can always try but it would save me a week or two by asking first.
Oh and I tried eating 1300-1400 calories a day plus exercise and wasn't losing any weight as I did with the 1200 calorie diet so I think trying would be a moot point.

I'm sorry, but why did he put you at 1200 calories? That is normally way too low for a healthy active person. I suggest you run the numbers again.0

1200's too low for an active person. Have you calculated your BMR and TDEE yet?0
