I might just be over-sensitive to this issue though. What do you all think?
I don't think you are being over-sensitive.
I think such behavior can do great damage to teenagers or even grown-up women and most important: it doesn't help anybody. No one except you and maybe your doctor need to know about your weight, so how is weighting in in front of others and posting a list of weights supposed to help anybody?

I still cringe at the thought of some weight-in occasions in my teenage years.
