Quick Weight Loss

Hey Everybody,

Question about calorie setting and weight loss speed. I am 195 lbs and looking to get to 175. Although I know the slower the loss the better I am looking for results in 8-10 weeks. I know MFP sets calories for you and at 2lbs lost a week my setting is about 1300 net calories.

I am wondering though if this is to low of calories and if I will start to lose muscle? This is something I desperately want to avoid. Not only because muscle will make me look better but also because more muscle means a higher metabolism. I lift weight 3 times a week and do cardio 1-2 times a week. I eat 45% carbs, 30% protein, and 25% (healthy) fat. I try to stick to those nutrient ratios as closely as I can.

Thanks for any help.
