205 to 179.6 in 8 weeks

So, if I've read everything correctly:

• @guessjr94 weighs 15 pounds more than the top end of healthy BMI. This means she is very unlikely to have more than 50 pounds of weight to lose. It sounds like her goal is to lose another 15 pounds.
• She has lost 25 pounds in 8 weeks - so an average of just over 3 pounds/week.
• She eats 1200 calories/day.
• She exercises a healthy (but not unreasonable) amount.

So, she's eating *way* too little. At her weight, she should be looking for a deficit no larger than 500 cals/day to lose 1 pound/week.

If all of her losses have been fat, she is actually maintaining a deficit of ~1500 cals/day (based on the 3 pounds/week average). I'm not actually particularly bothered by a single week showing a 5 pound drop. Water weight fluctuations can do that easily enough. Lots of women lose in that range right after their period - but they usually gain a bit before the period. It's the high average that concerns me. Even assuming that 10(?!) of those pounds were water weight, she'd *still* be undereating - though not as dramatically - but that'd be an awful lot of water weight. Let's suggest 5 pounds of water weight + 20 pounds of fat. That would mean 2.5 pounds/week of fat loss - still substantially more than she should be losing at her size.

My advice would be to increase calories. I know it's scary. You don't want to 'overshoot'. I've been through this myself. Was losing way too fast and had to up my calories three separate times to get to the right level for me. Every time, I didn't want to increase too much, so every time, I didn't increase enough - until I eventually bit the bullet and believed the numbers.

If you are losing an average of 2.5 pounds fat per week while eating 1200 calories/day, you are actually burning 2450 calories/day. But you said you ate back a few of the exercise calories. So, most likely, you are burning at least 2500 calories/day.

Raise your caloric intake to 2000 calories/day. That still gives you a deficit corresponding to a 1 pound/week loss. If you have to do it in steps, do it in steps. But get there. Once you get there, watch the scale. You may actually need to go higher - but this should get you close enough to re-evaluate after a month or two. If you're really active, 1200 is way way way too low.
