I started MFP 48 days ago. Prior to that started eating better and working out 4-5 days a week. Have lost 13 lbs, 3.5% in fat and several inches. I want to to lose 13 more lbs, 4 more fat % and get toned. Getting toned is a challenge for older ladies like myself. I have been doing strength training with free weights and group conditioning classes at the gym. My MFP calorie intake a day is 1200.
Any words of wisdom would be helpful. I have an office job and try to get up and walk around as often as possible. Thanks.

    Thank you all. I am patient in some things but not in others. I will keep plugging along and get through the holidays.

    You're doing great. Happy to help you tweak your nutrition if you'd like.

    Thank you, Ellie. Will probably get with you on nutrition later. Today I had Little Hamburger and 1/2 Little Fries at Five Guys. It's been one of those days. Bad headache. I'm doing a High Impact Conditioning Aerobic after work for an hour. Still no excuse. I wish the holidays were over.
