I work at UPS at night and its quite the workout. I haven't put on too much weight maybe about 8 pounds, in about 2 months. My body is starting to tone out a little, which is nice, but weighing 138lbs being about 5'4 I feel like its too much. Im used to being about 120, but feeling that is too small and I did look a little skinny. I would rather be between 125 and 130. I have been trying to run 30mins a day, but considering I have 2 jobs and a full time boyfriend I can't always get to it. I don't always eat every meal every day, in fact I only eat maybe one meal a day, sometimes half of a meal.

What I'm trying to say is that I'm looking forward to eating more meals a day, but I don't know what would be good for my body and active lifestyle. I use to eat whatever and not gain anything, but I know that always changes.(23yrs old) I also own a Tae-Bo video and use to do that but I have heard mixed emotions from these videos. Im really looking forward to toning down the arms, since they get used the most. But losing the weight in my thighs but getting them looking sexier. I have also noticed with the fact that I don't eat my stomach looks better but it's the love handles I just can't get rid of as easy.

What can I do to keep up being tone but also loose the weight?

You have to train the whole body, since there no "spot reduction" exercises, and since time is a big factor maybe try using some weight/resistance training, along with aerobics. Running, jogging, for those 30 minutes is great, working in stairs, or epplitical training would also help 2 or 3 times a week. The lack of eating is one factor I'd try to improve, over all good nutrition along with exercise! You need to eat fruit and veggies as well as lean meats, like turkey, chicken sandwiches with lettuce, tomatoes, etc. for instance. Snack on nuts, seeds small amounts with plenty of water throughout the day. Whole grains in cereals, breads, pasta and rice. Bring snack packs of cut up veggies or fruit slices to eat while your working. Lowfat, non fat yogurt or small amounts of say string cheese, or any low fat, low sodium cheese, will give you the calcium you need, 2-3 servings a day). Exercise when you can and try to eat healthy smaller meals through the day, it should help a lot.
