struggling with exercise

I've been trying the 1200 calorie goal . I've not really lost any weight, though. I go down then up and its frustrating me. I'm 5'2" and 151 lbs according to the scale this morning. I'm trying to incorporate more strength training and exercise in but I have trouble carving out more than 20-30 min of light strength training and exercise a day 5 days a week due to a crazy schedule at work and home.....Any ideas to help sneak it in that aren't time consuming? I do not have the money or time for a gym membership...Or is this enough by itself?

    Look up HiiT workouts on Fitness Blender - you'll find quick 20-30 minute workouts to give you good burns when you're short on time.

    Are you logging everything that you eat in your diary every single day without fail? Are you weighing everything you eat before you eat it on a consistent basis? Until you're doing that, you won't find consistent weight loss.

    No, I'm not being consistant with logging these things..I'm better at following it then writing it down. I added my fitness app to my desktop at work to help w/logging...What I've tried to do is add 2-3 sets of arm and leg items with 5 lb weights at work when I have time and doing a stair exercise w/ my stool at work to try to help add in this stuff when I can..Is doing these things gonna help at all?
