this form of weight loss is textbook for the yo-yo affect...
starving yourself, which if you were only eating 1200 calories a day, is only a bandaid solution. So when you start eating 'normally' again... even upping it to 1600 will make you bounce back to your former weight if not higher like a greased freight train...
Why would you take the time to measure your bodyfat percentages and not take 15 to 20 minutes it would take to get some minimal exercise instead? Chances are the bulk of the weight you lost wasn't from fat at all, it was all muscle loss, and if that's true, when you bounce back (inevitable) you will be in worse shape than you were from before.
My advice is to sign up to a gym, today. Get a personal trainer and say you want to build muscle. Change your diet from whatever torture setting you have it to now and increase it to a healthy level at least, weighing heavy on the protein side so you can at least grow some muscle back. Start walking, simplest form of exercise, can do it anywhere and doesn't need to take a long time--20 minutes does wonders.
building muscle turns you into a calorie burning machine, that's the goal, its a common misconception that we are just storage bags of the calories we eat...
