The act of stepping on the scale is not what's making you gain weight.
And you won't lose weight if you stop stepping on the scale.

So the radius is decreasing. So not only are you getting heavier its increasing by a power of 2.
We should use the metric system. Kilograms measure mass not weight so they would be constant. I think you could just flip the scale to show Kg and you could ignore the contraction
There are so many things wrong with that. Just being a smart a** again.
