That's good to hear. I've only recently started working out, and started on free weights with a Power Rack and Barbell (doing Stronglifts).
Glad I'm not partially wasting my time, and going onto the good stuff!

starting point, began cycling to work about 2 weeks after this photo was taken (~118 kg, ouch)

I would highly recommend taking some photos, because you don't notice changes yourself, everyone else does. :)
One of the fun things about working out is it appeals to my love of keeping and viewing personal statistics :)

Large gain of 5+ kilos this year - trying to get squat past 140kg, hah. Playing rugby next year.
The biggest key is keeping a record. Doesn't really matter what you do, as long as you log it.
Good luck!
I have a wireless scale from Withings that logs my weight for me, and I try to stand on it every day or two. I think I should get a tape measure and start tracking that too.
