Please let me know where I am going wrong I have just started this. I want to loose little weight but I want to become niclely toned.

What are your goals poshbird apart from losing weight and looking nicely toned? Can you be more specific? How much do you want to lose etc? How many times can you get to the gym in a week also? I will post you my daily food intake as discussed asap.

Can anyone plese send me some weight exercises for my legs?

What about some lunges using a barbell or dumbells. Or walking lunges are also horrible on your legs (in a good way!). You could hold a plate close to your chest for the walking lunges or a medicine ball or use dumbells again. Plenty of options. You could also do weighted step-ups onto a high box. Do you have access to an Exercise Ball? You can do some wicked hamstring curls on these and get a good burn in your hammy's and lower back. Good thing about these is you also have to engage all your stabiliser muscles. They take some practice but are worthwhile IMO.

Cool might try the lunges with the dumbbells:)
