if you know you will maintain your weight at 1500-1600, but you are obsessed with 1200, you need to see a mental health professional to address your severe anxiety. are you eating back the calories you burn from your long walks? if not, you're averaging lower than 1200.

Why are you counting?
Why are you restricting?
You are behaving as if you need to lose weight; yet, your own narrative states that you don't.
There is an obvious incongruity there that is affecting the quality of your life.
Which makes it something eminently worth tackling.

Any idea how many calories you're burning per day with cardio? Women losing their period seems to be associated with their "energy flux" - yes low calories can do it, but even at moderate calories, large amounts of cardio can do it too. Being on a low end calories, even a relatively moderate amount of cardio could push the energy scales that your body is running hormones as if starving.

Everyone here has given you the same (intelligent) response, and you continue arguing and making excuses. I apologize for making assumptions, but that is a bit of a red flag to me. Your menstrual cycle is very likely affected by you restricting your calories more than what your body can handle.

There is absolutely NO reason for you to be in a 1,200 calorie WEIGHT LOSS group if you're maintaining your weight. Get. Out. Of. There.

Also I just want to reiterate that if you find it hard to mentally handle more than 1,200 calories a day without food anxiety or related issues, please talk to a mental health professional. Not your regular doctor - a counselor, therapist, whoever you have access to. It is possible you could be dealing with disordered eating, even if you don't realize it. Trust me, it is very subtle in the beginning.

If you're experiencing unusual bleeding you need to see a doctor. It may be nothing to do with your diet. Better to get checked out.
