No Scale and 5 lbs gone

As you know, for lent I gave up my scale and measuring tape, as I felt that I had been becoming obsessive over the constant monitoring of my waist line.  Well, on the Tuesday after Easter, I hopped back on the scale and learned that I had lost 5 lbs over the previous 40 days!
If I can keep this up I'll be 25 lbs lighter by the fall.
Now the plan to only hop on the scale once a month, just to check my progress, but not get too bogged down in the week to week details.
