Don't forget that if you make sure you do some weight resistance exercise (not just aerobic), you will build muscle and 1 pound of muscle uses more calories than 1 pound of fat (and is much more dense/therefore smaller), so you increase your metabolism.

You also continue to burn more calories after you exercise, so you get a little bonus on calories used.
