    I'm 5'2 and was on 1200 for around 4 months. I lost 25 lbs.
    After those 4 months, I was exhausted, hungry and miserable with eating so little that I upped my calories. Still losing - albeit a little slower but much more content. 1200 isn't necessarily the answer. If you are doing exercise, I certainly suggest upping your calories :)

    I'm 5'2" and when I'm losing, I eat 1200 plus 1/2-all of my exercise calories back depending on my hunger level and still lose 1/2-1 pound a week very happily.

    THIS! If you are not netting a higher amount than 1200, then eat back your exercise calories!
