Am I eating enough?? 1200 cals

Do you use a food scale?

You probably can eat quite a bit more and lose. I'm 5'1" and at 130 pounds was losing a half pound a week eating 1550. At your weight, I'd say 1200 is way not enough, even without exercise.

Nope, I eat about 1800 calories a day, sometimes more, yesterday I ate 4000 haha, I am 218 lbs 5'7, and do about 5 hours of cardio and strength training a week.

Lol. Do you eat back the calories you burn? Just curious. I've read so many different opinions about this

YES! MFP is set up so that you eat back what you burn. Keep in mind though, that the MFP calorie burn amounts are an estimate, and are often higher than actual cals burned, but you do need to eat some (or most) of them back.
Also, you may actually see better results with higher calorie intake, even though it sounds the opposite. I am 5'1" and started just shy of 200lbs (this round) and I eat 1400 ish on most non exercise days. I am also sedentary. You can customize your goals/stats in MFP, so you don't have to have it set at 1200cals. And yes, you can still lose weight!
Also, you mentioned "feeling hungry" and that can get old after awhile. Find some low cal ways to fill your goals that will keep you feeling more full. foods higher in protein help you feel full longer.

I just bought one but I have yet to use it... That could be a problem too, the ounces of meat I'm eating since I have just been eyeballing it, I measure everything else I can with cups tho

Cups/spoons aren't accurate. Make sure you start weighing everything in ounces and grams!

No, I would go to iifym.com/iifym-calculator/ and key in all your information, but when you key in how often you workout, you only use strength training not cardio. And this will give you how many calories you should be eating a day without eating back the calories you burn. So I eat about the same calories each day, whether or not I have worked out that day, unless I have a cheat day (and I usually do at least once a week). There is a facebook group called IIFYM women, that gives a lot of advice, I used to just eat 1200 calories a day, it can work at first but it's not maintainable.

This. Listen to this and REALLY LISTEN.

I tried doing 1200 cal/day for a while and I was miserable.
When I was miserable, I allowed myself "treats"
When I allowed those treats, I felt bad and didn't log them
Then didn't log anything
Sometimes for weeks.
So my weight loss has been stalled for more than a year.

If you give a mouse a cookie...

I'm telling you. Please. IIFYM.com. If you are happy while you're losing, it's going to be easier to stick with. Life's short, eat a cupcake (if it fits in your macros).

MFP as designed expects you to eat your exercise calories back. The deficit was built in with zero exercise. The problem is that MFP give generous calorie burn estimates. Many people eat 1/2 back. You are eating them back to fuel your workouts & keep lean muscle mass. 1200 only.....then exercise beyond that is scary low. You might feel light headed, etc.

Other people will eat none back......because they are using a different method. TDEE less a percent includes exercise up front, and averages out the daily number.

Eat enough to be sustainable. Eat enough to keep lean muscle mass....the more weight you have to lose....the less of an issue this will be.
