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.

    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.
