    Exported JPEG always larger than original JPEG

      I'm trying to export a JPEG so that the file size is smaller, for use on the web.  So the file I have is 1.1 MB.  I try to export via LR4 using the percentage slider, but no matter what percentage I use, the file size is always GREATER than 1.1 MB!  And if I try to limit the size by inputing a value, say 1000 kb, I get an error message saying I can't do that for some reason:

      Also, this is not the case with just one file, it is numerous files.  Anyone have any ideas?
