    you need to go lower. There is a good chance you're taking in more weekly calories tha you think. Weight does fluctuate due to water so if it's been more than a month or so with no loss then you're eating at maintenance whether you know it or not.

    At your age, sedentary and handicapped you don't need many calories.
