Okay, so I used to be overweight, and I lost like 40lbs by exercising and watching what I ate (it took a year, but I finally got it off.) Now, I wanna lose 15lbs, (just to stabilize my weight because I am almost overweight, I am 5'7 and I weigh about 160, sometimes 154.) I really want to weigh 145 by summer and I want to tone up so that I can wear a bathing suit, I'm a lifeguard, and not be uncomfortable in my body for once in my life. I work out for an hour once a day, and take one day off once a week. And I keep an eye on what I eat, it's not monitored extremely well, but I watch my portions and snacks and all.
Anyway, I would like to know if you guys have any advice for how to lose that weight and get toned and in shape by summer? Any advice would be appreciated (:
The only suggestion I'd make is really keeping an eye on your snack habits. Try eating healthy snacks, like fruits or yogurt. Doing something simple like that can make a huge difference.

I think what you're doing already is perfect. Sometimes your body with reach a plateau where you can't seem to lose any more weight. When this happens, try to shake things up a little by doing something your body isn't accustomed to.
Such things are: delete a different food from your diet, a different workout routine, maybe weights. All of these things can help. Keep up the good work. I hope I helped.
Good luck
