the 1200 was what myfitnesspal gave me when i was trying to drop 2lbs a week many years ago, which is crazy because i was 147 at that time so idk what i was doing. i keep myself around 1500 /1600 calories. what kind of scale do you recommend?

This is right up my alley! Upon graduation in 2011, I've yo-yo'd from 145 to 155 and currently at my highest, 164. Hoping to make some fitness friends to keep me accountable and motivate, and vice versa.
