You've got the right approach, Jenny. 3 lbs a week is a sensible and realistic amount to lose. With the exercise, a large part of that weight lost is fat - the stuff you want to get rid of - and water. And the 5 smaller meals a day is dead on. If you get a chance, find a gym or someplace that will measure your body composition. Find out what %age of your bodyweight is fat and what amount is lean. Set a goal to lower the fat to a healthy level - say the low 20's for a start. Don't obsess with the scale. That only tells you that you've lost weight - not what the weight lost was made up of. Again, the only important number is lowering fat to a healthy level.
