I'm down - yippee :-)

I weighed myself on Monday morning and the scale said that I have lost two pounds - that's exciting! :-) It appears that exercise is the key. :-) Mike and I found we were on a plateau and the only thing missing was the exercise - I guess there is only so much weight you can lose by healthy eating. We now have been doing some kind of exercise every day, but Sunday. We are walking 3km in 30 minutes - quite fast and we work up quite a sweat. We are aiming to walk 3.5km in 30 minutes. We also sometimes bike ride - 6km in 35 minutes - we are aiming for 6km in 30 minutes. It's exciting to see the numbers going down on the scales - it really motivates me and spurs me on. We have also been tweaking our eating plan using sparkpeople.com and that is helping a lot - it seems that for the past few days, we can stay within our calorie range and also have a little treat at the end of the day (low cal pudding) which we enjoy.
