Just after some advice!
I've recently started a full time job and struggling to fit in a solid workout routine! I've gained about 2-3kgs since starting working due to upping my calories.
I'm 152cm tall and am currently sitting on the 48-50kg range.
My ultimate goal is to be toned! However finding it extremely difficult because I'm so short and fat tends to show up quicker!

    Even if you're really struggling to fit in a workout routine you can still lose weight just by eating a calorie deficit. And you could always fit in some body weight exercises while at home, just 10 or 15 minutes a day is better than nothing!

    Then reduce your calories and the weight will come off.

    What was your exercise routine before you got the job?

    Is walking at lunch an option? That's what I do, and it's really helping.

    Good luck! :)

    That and using YouTube for your exercise guide. It's really hard for me to fit in exercise- but YouTube has a ton of good workouts you can do at home and I picked up running, which I try to fit in three days a week between getting off work and picking up my daughter at daycare.

    Totally understand you point height wise as I am only 5'2"

    When my work was crazy I found going for a walk during my lunch helped, also got me away from the office and let my mind reboot so good on two fronts.

    another thing I did in winter was park a couple of miles away from work in a morning catch the bus down the road to the office then at the end of the day run back to my car - it was great running past the standstill rush hour traffic and only added about 10mins to my journey time.

    could you bike to work and therefore combine workout with commute?
