Good on you for throwing out the scale and seeking to get outside more. Working towards fitness is a ridiculously long, slow, process, to the point where any numerical measure (especially weight) is almost guaranteed to be more statistical noise than meaningful information. Meanwhile, the outside activity can give you all kinds of much-more-useful qualitative indications of your fitness level, like how far you can walk, without feeling too tired, on a good day. Weightlifting are also a pretty good activity; I haven't gotten into it myself, but I know plenty of people who have gotten hooked on the addictive quality of pushing those numbers up. In general, functional metrics beat the hell out of weight for measuring fitness, so very good call on your part.
