Calories how many do I need

I have been allowing myself a calorie intake of 1200 per day but have not lost any weight since Christmas, the calorie intake was set on myfitness pal. Does anyone think this is too low as I have read on this site that I need 1400, I would be grateful for any advice.

I am quite active as I walk as much as possible and I do aqua jog and the gym once a week and sometimes go swimming.

agreed! If you plateau your body will get used to the new lower calorie intake and according to the biggest loser , you take make small calorie increases to boost your metabolic rate, whilst increasing your exercise.
