    I think your situation is sufficiently different from the majority of us here -- somewhere between significantly and substantially into overweight and mostly just starting out with fitness -- to take a more advanced approach. I'd suggest listening more to the athletes here than people like me :) and looking into resources such as this site http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/adjusting-the-diet.html .

    You're in the excellent situation that you're healthy and under no need for fat loss to WORK RIGHT NOW -- take your time and figure out what deficit and what kind of exercise, and how much of it, would be right for you.

    Thanks again everyone. This helped me put some things in perspective. I just thought with 1 pound a week, I'd be at goal weight and perfect by April, and now I know it just doesn't work like that! It may take a lot more time to lose that layer of fat and tone my muscles. I feel much better. Thank you!!! I'll look into the athletic stuff people have posted. I really like Muscle and Fitness Hers magazine, I'd love to have a body similar to those.

    Don't give up, it may seem hard now but keep exercising and eating healthily and the weight will slowly shift. Eating junk wont make you feel any better so fight temptation and keep on pushing! Good luck x

    You don't weigh very much...Maybe you're just right!

    Actually my BMI is 24, on the boarder of overweight. Yes it's healthy, but so is 115. 115 is right in the middle of the healthy range for my height.

    How many times a day are you eating?
