Suggestions on body weight scale and trend lines?

I'm thinking of getting a digital scale, the Wahoo for my iPhone. I just want weight, not BMI or anything else from my scale.

What exactly do any of these scales do in addition to displaying digital weight? Do they update MFP? Do I have to manually sync, or manually do the BT hookup every day when I weigh myself, or what?

I'm looking to see trendlines (like on the MFP Progress screen)

But I'm also looking for a plot that has a second line which is net calories. Does MFP provide that? How about some of the scale apps themselves.

That way I can really spot the CICO relationship.

Any suggestions on threads here on the forum that discuss this?

Any suggestions on my options?

    Become BFFs with Excel. I build these out manually once a month or once every other month -- looking at total calories (I do TDEE, not NEAT + exercise), expected weight change, expenditure, and actual weight change.
