It sounds like a good plan, but trust me the instant gratifacation that comes with having the scale move everytime you step on it is very easy to become accustom to, and VERY quickly. I am only 10 weeks out and had been in my first stall (unitl today) for the past 2 weeks. I even only weigh when I go to my doctor's to try and avoid such obsessive weighing issues and because I never wanted to be sad about my surgery and the rate at which I am losing. However, I can tell you the first time you weigh and that scale doesn't change is heartbreaking. Feelings of failure start to flood and you can't control taht.
