What time of day do you weigh yourself and do you always weigh at the same time and same conditions ?I would give nyself another week before I start panicking. There is no way to predict when or how we will lose.

I agree with bargoo, it's only been a week. You must be patient.

I also have to add that for your size you just may not be eating enough. Try increasing your calories and see if that helps you drop the weight :)

(In case you are a woman) your cycle could be in the water retention phase and that's why you keep the weight. If that is the case, in a week you should see the results.

I also agree that 1200 cals a day is a bit low... You should eat a little more (but eat only the healthy foods), because if you eat too little, your metabolism will seriously slow down after a week or two and you will have harder time losing. You can probably get faster results if you eat around 1500kcal a day.
