tee-ha-ha is absolutely right. I burn roughly 1300 calories a day just being alive ... when I'm working out and eating right my metabolism goes up and I burn even more. Muscle also burns more calories, so if you develop more muscle your daily calorie burn will go up as well.
I think 1000 calories a day if you are also working out vigorously is too little, but that's just me. When I lost alot of weight, I worked out 30 mins a day (primarily cardio) and ate between 1200 - 1500 calories. I lost roughly 90 lbs in just over a year. Slow and steady loss, no misery and very healthy at the end.
I wouldn't get too ate up over the scale either. If you are building muscle you aren't going to lose 'weight'. Take some measurements of your waist and hips, those will change as you tone your muscles and drop some fat. It's a better indicator of actual progress than the number on the scale.
