Thanks! I do log my exercises, but I use LoseIt instead of MyFitnessPal (it's just because it's something I had started with and wanted to keep using).

Oh yeah, I definitely will not do that. Like I said - I'm not going to deprive myself from any food I enjoy. Of course, I will moderate how much I eat of what, but not completely eliminate it from my life.

Yeah, I thought maybe it is the whole "starvation mode" at first, but I feel it is more likely that even though I am still leaving more leeway in estimated calories at the day, I could be eating more than I thought. My net calories end up being around 1350 by the end of the day, so it's not like I'm below the 1200.
