Yes. I am one of those who uses my scale like it's a step class.

I got a digital WW scale from Costco when I started the VSG journey. It's the best scale I've ever had. I can get on and off it multiple times in a row, and it always reads the same thing - unlike my old analog scale.

I've been fat, and I've been thin - and thin is better.

I have a fit bit aria.  it goes straight to my fit bit app on my phone with all my other data.  I love it!

It's weird but even where you stand on the scale (foot Placement) effects your weight. I only weight in the am, but if it's lower than usual I will weigh several times in a row to make sure it's right.

Yep.  I do the same thing. I like seeing fluctuations and treads in my weight loss.  And since there's no possible way gains are real since I'm only 3 weeks postop gains arent discouraging.  I will not however, record a gain.  I have two scales.  One normal scale and a smart scale that syncs to my Garmin app.  If the normal scale is bring nice, then I'll step on the Garmin and let it sync to My fitness pal.

lol @ helium pee. Well, I get on the scale before & after everything, with clothes, without clothes... Etc. several times a day if I'm at home.  I have to say that I have never lost 4 lbs after going pee pee though hehe, but often get amazed at losing 3-4 lbs after a few hours sleep though.

This is an unhealthy pattern some of us go through once we reach goal, try to not obsess so much and if necessary have a loved one hide your scale. I had to have my husband hide my scale for about 4 months, I was making myself 

How obsessed?  I took off my jewelry, hair accessories and retainer I SWEAR!

I used to joke at WWs, after a good week -- "Yup, stuck to the program.  Water, walking, etc.  Got my hair cut.  Shaved.  Went to the bathroom before I left the house.  Cleaned out from underneath my fingernails.  Cut my toenails.  Made sure to wear my lightest clothing today...."

At WW, I would go in b4 food and water, pee & poo there if I could, then strip down to spandex shorts and sports bra, bare feet and NO GLASSES and get on the scale!

 

I NEVER trust the Dr's scale.
