    go back in and reset your goals to the maintenance weight and it will tell you how many cals you have to eat to maintain that weight. If you keep exercising and watching what you eat you should be fine.

    This site will tell you what you need to do in order to achieve your goal if you want to maintain just type that in to your goals it will tell you the exact amount of calories to do that. Just make sure you are logging your exercise as well.if you need to fine tune it just add calories slowly until you stop losing

    uhm... this may sounds b*tchy but you are 112 lbs now? Why do you need to lose any weight at all?

    Please just eat healthy and tone up and get ripped or whatever but do you really need to lose anymore weight?

    Sorry I don't think so

    um, the lowest healthy weight I could find online for someone who is 5 ' 6" is 118. So, currently, you're actually clinically underweight.

    I would really suggest you consult a doctor or a nutritionist. Have your body fat measured, and have a professional tell you what is a good, healthy and maintainable weight for you.

    At least you set a weight that you do not want to go under; however, I agree with the others. Sounds way too low for someone only 2" shorter than me. Healthy would be in the 120's and very toned from exercise - which you don't mention. Please consult a physician or have a fitness exam performed.

    5'6" 112 and you want to loose weight?

    ack, I checked the maintain for an 18 year old female
    with these stats and the lowest maintanance weight
    is 1600 plus calories (that is for someone who does
    no exercise at all)

    112 is just to small for someone your height, I don't care if
    you have the thickest bone structure in human history. I would
    never recommend loosing weight from this point forward,
    unless a doctor recommended it for some (odd) reason.
    In fact I would suggest putting on about 10 lbs of muscle.
