Losing but not firming

I am right on target with my weight loss, but I don't see that I am firming. I am working out to 30-Day Shred and Powerhouse Yoga with JM as well. Any suggestions on how I can start firming up?

up your weights, you just need some more heavy lifting0

If you are using 3 lbs go to 5 lbs...
or you can just incorporate some heavier weights for certain exercises within the video
or hit the gym 2-3 days out of the week and just lift0 -
I'm assuming that when you say "firming up", you mean you want to lose the fat layer.
Keep eating at a small calorie deficit. You want to lose fat, not muscle.0 -
When I lost weight doing only 30DS and cardio, I was unhappy because I was still soft
I started doing heavy strenght training and I lost 6 inchs in only 6 weeks. Now I am getting the body I wanted.0 -

^^this too^^
Make sure that SMALL calorie deficit is in the exercise calories, not in your BMR.
For people who lift heavy so they can bulk up and not lose weight they don't actually leave a deficit, but your looking to lose weight at the same time so keep it small. If the deficit is to high you won't be able to build muscle0
