    If you eat at a deficit and lift, plus cardio, you'll be fine. Just stay focused, keep in mind that slow and steady is the way to go. In my humble opinion if you are under your daily calorie goal and doing regular strength and cardio workouts, you can only win. You'll be losing weight, improving your cardiovascular fitness and your muscle tone and strength.

    Waiman has great advice. Sounds like you're on track. Remember to work all muscle groups as you lose the weight. You can always alternate the days you work a certain group of muscles. Some choose one for upper, then a day for lower. I personally try to do a "sampler" every time I hit the gym so I'm working as many of those muscles as I can. Whatever works for you, but it definitely sounds like you're on the right track. Don't second guess yourself just because it hasn't happened overnight. Trust me, judging by that pic, you ARE making it happen!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!

    Don't forget your legs. They contain large muscle groups, which will help you burn more calories than just small muscles worked at a time. Try compound moves like Squats, lunges & deadlifts.
