Need some tips.

I am 5'5", 128lbs, MFP had me at 1280cals I lost 4lbs then stopped losing. I upped it to 1390. I exercise 3-4 times on a good week, Jazzercise (cardio&strength) and running (just beginning). I almost always eat my exercise calories.
To maintain my weight it says to eat 1890cals. My question comes in here..should I eat that much if I am exercising if my main goal is to tone up? I could stand to lose some weight, but mostly just in a particular area (belly). Is there any tips for focusing on abs (eating & exercising) or will the toning come just by doing what I am doing now? I know it takes time, but I am impatient
I am not seeing any progress the last couple weeks and I have noticed self sabotage I just feel lost and not sure where to start. I know I can lose weight, but I don't want to be a smaller version of this body, I want a toned, semi-muscular body. I have gotten down to 118 before and I hated the way my clothes fit, baggy in the hips and still had a little belly...I have had 3 kids so I blame them
Thanks for any advice!

If you want a nice toned belly you will have to lose that fat. But you need to concentrate on eating lots of good proteins.
Plus working on ab exercises.
You have to be patient. Keep up with it. It will pay off!0 -
Thanks
That is what I figured! I know we can't lost weight in just one area, but it would be nice0
