    I have my calorie goal set for 1200 also, and some days I wasn't even reaching it. I noticed that I stopped loosing for a few weeks so I made sure that I was eating between 1200 and 1300 then I started to loose again.
  • sometimes if you don't take in more calories you tend to go into a starvation mode which is not getting enough of what your body needs. that happened to me
