Accidental Ketosis?

Am I wasting my time?
I'm currently 5 ft 2 and 234 lbs. Lost 4lb so far in 14 days. I'm currently consuming 1200 calories a day plus whatever I've burned that day (usually only 100-200 calories per day) in a bid to lose 1-2lbs per week. I've always been quite strong compared to most women and I am concerned that this calorie deficit will affect…
