Well done to you both, you're definately taking the right approach - the weight's far more likely to stay off if you lose it slowly, as you get used to smaller portion sizes.
You may want to think about drinking a bit more water than coffee; a brew's fine but remember caffeine is a diuretic which'll dehydrate you. Try water with a touch of fruit juice if plain water's boring!
And the big one to remember, if you feel hungry, have a glass of water, a lot of the time it's actually dehydration, not hunger you're feeling, surprising as that may that sound.
Finally to end the sermon, always remember the exercise, you don't have to run. A good march will burn lots of calories, remember to swing those arms!!! If you're not very mobile, static core exercise, pointing & flexing toes, tensing & relaxing leg muscles etc - it all helps.

You're also doing the right thing concentrating on more fresh foods, you then control the amount of salt, added fat etc!

Keep it up, you're doing a great job.
