Advice for maintaining my weight?
I weighed myself today at 101 pounds, and I want to maintain that. I don't want to lose weight because then I'll be too skinny, and if I gain anything else, I'll be overweight for my age and height, even though my BMI says I'm normal. Anyways, the question is, how can I maintain that through my diet and exercise?
