I'd post my weight here but I don't want DoWhat to tell me to lay off of the double cheeseburgers.

I don't care what I weigh. But, I do care about how I fit into clothes. I can wear an 8/10 depending on the designer/style and a medium in most tops. 
So my husband, the handsome and wonderful Giant, went out and lovingly bought new bathroom scales. Our old ones are off a bit.
He actually invested some time and research into his effort and chose a pretty hi-tech gadget that looks cool. It weighs you, gives a digital read-out and then posts your weight to the internet. Yes, to the internet. I said no way.
I am not using those scales, not because I weigh too much, (actually thanks to warnutz recommending a protein powder I actually weigh in enough now), but because there's something about posting my weight to the internet that makes me shudder. It goes against everything in my female nature. I hate to be weighed at the doctor's office, much less be posting my weight online.
I think technology has gone too far.
He said fine and has no problem weighing himself and posting it online. He says I can continue to use the scales that add three pounds. Which I am fine with.
What say you? Do you want everytime you weigh yourself in the bathroom, for your name and weight to be posted online?
Some people are just uniqe individuals, somebody is actually making money of this I guess.

I was watching 20/20 last week when they did a story of the 3 people on the front cover of People Magazine this month. They had all lost 1/2 their size. There were 2 females and 1 male. I've posted a clip below. If you don't feel like watching the entire thing, skip to 4 minutes. This man posted everything on facebook, everything.... including his weight, photos, blah blah blah - he said he did it to hold himself accountable so to some posting that sort of information, I guess it can be a valuable tool.

But I don't need to lose weight or hold myself accountable to others.

I'm only accountable to myself and my doctor so I'm not one who would post my weight on the internet..... but that guy Rich in my video clip said it was his greatest tool.

Here's the scale we use at the gym, it "seems" accurate but so many variables can throw it off...
TBF-300A Body Composition Analyzer
And I didn't realize the cost...

You're right, it's not about the number on the scale....it's about the number on the tag!
j/k!But I don't need to lose weight or hold myself accountable to others.
I can see how it'd be useful for someone really trying to lose weight. Maybe they'd feel more accountable...like they don't want to let their "followers" down
