I'm also like you in that I love metrics. A few years ago, I let myself get a bit overweight and then had to try to lose it. I found that the metric of actual weight wasn't a very good one so I focused more on body fat% (a decent body fat scale works well enough to get accurate trending) and physical abilities (e.g. how much I could lift, how fast I could run a 5k, etc.). Those are metrics that more accurately reflect the success of your diet and exercise than weight does.
