5’2 females, how are you maintaining?
Time is here for me to maintain at 120lbs after a 51lbs loss, woohoooo! Feels so liberating. I work out 6xs a week (3xs a week I run and 3xs a week I lift), I have gained a lot of muscle which i am so happy about. I was wondering, what is your calorie maintenance? Did you see weight go up at first?
