Nolagina, how tall are you? If you are hungry, you may not be getting enough calories. The 135x12=1600 is usually for people who don't exercise, and on <10% cals from carbs, people can usually eat ~300 more calories than on the standard american diet; I certainly can. I'm 5'6", with a similar exercise schedule, and got down to and maintain at 136 eating 1700-2000 calories/day (ave = 1900, 65-70% of the calories from fat) the entire time.

YMMV, but cutting calories & enduring hunger led me to 35 years of yo-yo dieting failures. Eating more fat was my key to success & I have been maintaining for 14 months.
