That's great, Normajean, but don't expect to continue
to lose at that rate. It's going to take a while, and
there will be wobbling and plateauing, so set your
expectations accordingly. I'm not much of a scale
watcher, but if you are, you might want to consider
looking into the online weight charting tools that
John mentioned a while back:

or calculate the moving average, as Allan suggested:

Yes, this is a bit mathy, but at least it's
meaningful. If you spend a lot of time staring at the
scale, I'd say either stop or do one of the above.

Anyway, enough warnings. Congratulations on an
auspicious beginning!

P.S. The walking is great, too. It's so mundane that
you might be tempted to skip it -- don't. It's
probably the most important health related habit you
can have. See http://www.urbanranger.com for 
further inspiration.
