Good job Gemma & Marie!
I agree, Marie, that portion control is really the key. My doctor was telling me in the fall that really, diet is the bigger contributor to weight loss than exercise. I knew this already, but it was nice to hear him say it. Sure, you need exercise, but you aren't going to be able to exercise enough to burn off all the calories you take in if you are overeating.
So, I'm getting in my 30 minutes of exercise 6 days a week and watching my portions and the types of foods I'm eating (making healthier choices). Coupled with drinking plenty of water, I really can't help but lose weight. It may not come off as quickly as I want, but I didn't put it on overnight. LOL
