No one has mentioned but if you just started working out it might be you are building muscle which is a possitive thing no matter what the scale says

Ok this makes me jealous but that's excellent! I take medication that slows my weightloss to a snails pace (I'd lose less than .5 a week and sometimes 0) BUT I'm almost at goal. On the upside I lost it so slow that I virtually have no issues with regain for once in my life. ;) A whole year to lose a measly 15p worked out well in the end.

OP, hang in there and keep going the best you can. Like the others suggested maybe seeing a Doc would help. If all systems are clear then you need to look closer at your calories. There have been times I have totally miscalculated something, especially when you're new to this. At 1,200 you should be losing no problem. I'd be starving to death, I had to stay closer to 1,500 like Freelance.

Good luck! Stick around here, LOTS of valuable advice and information. I credit this site for my weightloss! I had tried and failed for years until I got here. :)

I'm 5'10 and weigh 224.8 right now, and I eat a minimum of 1500. But I never eat just 1500 calories. (I'm greedy, lol). I am on Weight Watchers, and we have extra calories we can use however want each week. I eat all of those. We also can eat calories back that we burn when we exercise. I earn a lot of calories and eat them all back. I've lost 26.2 pounds since early January.

Maybe you're not eating enough. Tall, overweight people need more food than *almost* 1200 calories a day.

Are you measuring and weighing ALL of your food? I found if I don't precisely measure everything I put in my mouth I "cheat" without even knowing it. Maybe I'm spatially challenged - but I can't eyeball 4 oz of chicken breast vs 6 oz, and one of those has 50% more calories. ;)
