If your diet is dialed in, don't get frustrated by a slow start. I've worked with a lot of ladies who's bodies just take a while to start firing on all cylinders. My wife was the exact same way.

For maintainence(little to no weight loss) the number will probably end up being between 12-14 calories per pound. Keep in mind that this is a general estimate, and you may need to tweak the numbers a little here or there. I just took a look at your profile, and I'd say start at 10 right now. ============ Quoting from nursebrandyk: Thank you!!10-12 calories per llb of body weight..that I am now or that I want to be? =============
