I asked because if you didn't lessen your caloric intake from the recommended 2000 calorie daily diet you wont loose weight. If you don't exercise you can still loose weight, but it depends on if you drop your caloric intake enough. You still need a good amount of calories when you work out, because your burning calories when you work out, but you still need to lessen it from 2000. That's why I asked, I'm no pro but this is what I've been told by others & what works for me. But I see you have lessened it & you work out, but if you're not loosing then you may want to consider dropping it more. Not too mention that if you're toning your body then muscle weighs more than fat, so you may not see an extensive drop on the scale. It all just kind of depends on your program & even what kind of calories you're taking in. Like if your only eating 1500 calories, but they are empty calories, then you're not get good nutritional value out of your food intake. Or if you drink a lot of sodas & juices vs water...that's a lot of calories added on at the end of the day. Anyway your posts just said small or no weight loss & seemed like you where disappointed, so I wanted to respond & see what kind of plan you're working with for your weight loss journey that's all.

Don't be discouraged, I only lost 1 pound myself this week, but I know this is because I just added strength training to my all-cardio workout schedule. I most likely gained some muscle, and I am fine with that. Just feel assured that you will be less likely to gain it back.

Try yoga. It's amazing. It's so relaxing, it improves your flexibility, it helps relieve some types of pain, and it works muscles you never realized you had.

Belly dancing is great! It really works your abs & it's fun & sexy! 
I really hope you enjoy it. I do yoga at home with my 3 yr old daughter. She loves it & my 1yr old is even getting her warrior poses down pretty well, but my 3 yr old like cobra pose the best.
