Instead of just aiming for 1200, give yourself a range. It's easier to stay within a range than at a specific number.
If you haven't checked out Sparkpeople yet, you might look into their program, they set very doable ranges.
I aim for 1300-1800 cals a day, and some really are low days and some days I'm just hungrier and eat more.
I too did WW many times and am a lifetime member also. I do believe it's the best "commercial" program out there, but there is so much more about nutrition a person can learn, especially a person who really gets into exercise and strength training.
Good luck with calorie counting, I've done it now for 10 weeks and am doing great.
