I am 5' 8" 32 years old and have a goal of 50-60 pounds to lose. I have used mfp in the past and lost 27 pounds in 3 months, but gave up after hurting my knee and gained it back plus and additional 30 pounds. I am bad for trying to find the quick fix and it is a vicious cycle. I know that mfp works, if I do it correctly.

I would love to have some women with similar goals and stats to be on my friends list to help motivate me. I also am trying to decide if I want to drop my calories to 1200 a day like last time, or go for the 1600 that mfp says to eat a day. Any advice would be appreciated.

    I'd suggest starting with the 1,600 a day for at least a month. You have to give it time to see if you'll get real progress. After than drop it by 200 and give it another month. Since your starting at a higher weight, you'll be able to eat more and lose more than someone at your height and lower weight.

    Don't give up! I'm also 5'8. :)
