I'm a lazy butt....but am I still losing weight?

I literally do nothing all day. I eat my 1200 calories or under a day, I almost never go over and if I do I compensate with the days before or after. But other than my job as a server that I do for a few hours a day, I am laying on my bed or sitting on my couch. I am 5'2" and weigh 130 lbs, trying to lose the last 5. Should I add exercise or will I continue losing weight with just counting calories?

    If you have a caloric deficit, you will lose weight.

    HOWEVER, you probably won't notice much difference between 130 and 125 without a strength training regimen. When you're that close, body composition will be where you see the difference. :)

    Your overall health will be improved by just moving around a bit, even if you don't want to lift heavy stuff. Just a suggestion :)
