I, as others have mentioned, find that measuring myself and looking at how my clothes fit is a more accurate reflection of my progress. I have started exercising and lifting weights; I suspect that I am building muscle and losing fat.
Last bit of advice - everybody is an experiment of One. Your progress will not necessarily mimic everyone else's. Some lose weight faster than others. Count those NSVs - those are the changes that affect your quality of life. The scale only reflects you're relationship with gravity...
Dang scale! well said.
