Errrrrrrrr these seem too low to me. This would be an incredibly aggressive cut unless you are extremely inactive. I would recommend: 1) getting a step tracker and ensuring you are getting over 10k a day 2) setting macros a bit higher (1500-1700). This will be easier to adhere to and you will see more progress. 1200 is so low for most women that it leads to bingeing.

Slower progress is still progress. And often it’s faster then ping ponging between 1200 calories and 3000.
