Am I doing this right?

I'm probably crazy but I need reassurance. Going on my second month of weight loss. I started June 29th, 2013 and have lost 12 lbs so far. I have an open journal, if someone wouldn't mind taking a peek. My goal is 2 lbs a week (which, so far so good) and I try to eat at least 1200 calories a day, as I work out almost every day now. I try my best to eat back my exercise calories but if I'm not feeling hungry, I generally don't push too much on eating it back (as I know some of my food plus exercise calories are guesses). I am 5'5'' and currently at 158 lbs. My goal is 130 lbs, right now. I do bench press and leg lifts every other day generally at least 5 reps of 10 and try to mix up my cardio pretty much every day. Thank you for your time!

    With all the muscle you are building, if you are losing 2 pounds a week, you are probably feeling pretty successful!! Good for you!! When do you hope to reach your GW?

    I am! My plan is in November. I wish I could make the weight fall off faster but I keep trying to remind myself how long it took me to gain it all. I just had a baby May 16th, so I've been trying to tell myself I'm still doing okay.
