Yet another simple question.

As i'm new to this amazing world of Mathematica, i'm not able yet to
do
simple things that for an experienced user seem ridiculous.

 So i want to ask a simple question. If:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
y,m,day : integer positive variables

yr,mr   : integer positive variables which depend on y and m

fff[day_] = Mod[day + 2*mr + Quotient[3*(mr + 1), 5] + yr + 2 + 
Quotient[yr, 4] + Quotient[yr, 400] - Quotient[yr, 100], 7];
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 Now for a specific day=D i want to find the value of the integer
variable Q which belongs to (D,D+7], so fff[Q]=1 would be true.

So i write: 

Do[Q = Which[fff[x] == 1, x], {x, D + 1, D + 7, 1}]

and i expect Q to take the appropriate value. But this doesn't work.
Can anyone show me the way to the light?

Thank you.
