Hello, I was wondering how you figure out how many calories you need each day to maintain your weight. There's so many calculators on the web right now, but they're all different, so how do you really know?
I'm 28, 5'3, and 120lbs. I gained 5lbs over winter and I would love to drop those 5 extra pounds. I've been counting calories and have been eating about 1100 calories a day during the week. I don't count on Sat/Sun, but I wouldn't say I go overboard. I do drink alcohol on the weekends, but not during the week.
Anyway I've been doing this for 3 weeks and haven't lost or gained anything. So any suggestions?
thanks,
Kate
