Hi Fab Marta,

One more thing you can do is go to this site to find out your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)--that's the number of calories your body needs if all you did all day was lay in bed--and your Active Metabolic Rate (AMR)--the calories you need to maintain your present weight at your current level of activity.

I'm no expert at this, but I think to lose weight, you need calories somewhere in between the two numbers. Going below BMR means no loss and going above AMR results in a gain.
