How can I tone up after weight loss?
I'm 5'7" and about 129lbs. I lost 60lbs and have kept it off for about a year now. I lost a lot of the weight really fast, so my skin wasn't able to catch up. I don't have a huge amount of skin left over, but I would like to tone up a bit. My upper abs are beginning to show, but I'm having issues with my lower abs. Also, I want my arms, legs, and back to be sleeker. I do have an ab lounge sport and a small stair step machine, but I want more variation and ultimately results. How can I achieve this without a gym membership?
I don't eat meat, and I try to eat between 1200 and 1400 calories a day.

A Combination of proper Food & Exercise is needed.
Do inclined Pushups & Situps. Use Exercise Balls & Dumbells to increase the difficulty level. Pilate would be best for you too.
Higher metabolism rate increase weight lost, provided you eat healthy food and pursue a vigorous workout. As a guide, deficiency in certain nutrients or low calorie diet reduces metabolism. Maintain a good Nutrient Diet is key to metabolism increase.
Foodstuff that boost your metabolism level:
1) Protein Intake - You will burn more calories, as it takes a longer time to break up protein food for digestion.
2) Calcium Intake - Helps speed up basal metabolism. Calcium from foods is better than calcium-based supplements. Milk is one of the richest sources of calcium.
3) High Fiber Food - Similar to protein food. Fiber food helps in burning more calories, thus makes losing weight easier and faster. Eat loads of beans, fresh fruits and vegetables and whole-grain breads.
4) Green Tea - Green tea increases your basal metabolism and also contains less caffeine. Other forms of Tea are not favourable
5) Avoid Alcohol - Alcohol lowers your activity metabolism and also tends to stimulate your appetite.
6) Don't skip Breakfast - Your body metabolism drops due to lack of Food & Nutrients ,especially in the morning.
7) Plenty of Water - Drink water at frequent intervals, because it is water that helps in digestion of food. So, drink at least 1 Litre daily for every 25kg of Body Weight.
