So it ain't gonna go overnight either - if you lose it too fast then your body goes "EEK" and slows your metabolism down so you're burning the calories even slower - which makes it even harder to lose weight. Slow and steady! Regular aerobic exercise (i.e. exercise that makes you out of breath) raises your metabolism - but only if you are eating sensibly as well, or your body will just rebel.
As DM said, muscle weighs heavier than fat - I'm 14.5 stone and need to lose 2, minimum. But no-one ever believes me 'cos I'm 5'9", reasonably fit and still in size 14 clothes.
Good luck and be patient with yourself!
