SO far I have lost 16 pounds!

So far the scale says I have lost 16 pounds but I find that hard to believe.  It may be that I cannot see it so I just don't see it.  In any event that puts me back on track for 5 pounds a week.  I also am able to breath better when I ride the bike excercise machine.  My heart rate is 10-15 beats lower as well at the same settings then when I first started.  I average 1 Mile every 4 min. on the machine.  Vast improvement.  Still I sleep better and that has been the best part so far for me.  We are currently working on slowly building up my muscles to help eat away the fat in my body.  My body has alot of fat to eat...I hope my muscles don't get fat..from eating my fat :(.
