    I see you have six pounds to go- set your goal to .5 pound per week. Not sure if 1200 is too little- are you eating back exercise calories? I have never seen any men on that few of calories so I'm not sure how you are not losing weight. Congratulations on your loss so far.

    same problem here, many days Im way under my 1300 limit, but after the first 9 lbs it seems to have stopped. Decided to increase my elliptical but slow up the speed a bit and see if a longer slower workout helps

    Bravo! Cos a loose 1200 with 66lbs to lose is different to the results you can expect with a loose 1200 and only 6lbs to lose.

    It sounds like with you working out 1200 is too low. Up your calorie intake. You need more food to fuel the muscle you're building.
