    Quick suggestions:

    1) bump protein up a little, reduce carbs and fat a little. At 147 lbs you should ideally be getting 147g protein per day. 40%Protein/40%Carb/20%Fat is probably a good place for you to start.

    2) relax - the more you stress about this, the more cortisol you produce and the harder it becomes. Keep it all in perspective and try to enjoy the journey.

    Good luck

    When you say you're logging, does that mean that you are weighing your portions out in grams on a food scale? If you are not weighing your solids & measuring out your liquids, then you don't know how many calories you are eating. Also, for someone your height, 1200 may not be a *huge* deficit. I am 5' 2.5" & maintained at 150 lbs (where I want to be) for 2 years eating 1430 a day.

    The only scientific answer is:
    You are eating more than you think you are.
    Deficit AWALYS. equals weight loss.
