Thats not right when you are using the change in weight.

It doesnt matter what you weigh, what matters is how
the weight changes between weighing with body weight.


Yeah, down to the gram according to you, so you can track how much
weight you've gained or lost after each meal.Â*Â* You really are the
mayor of Stupidville.

Agreed, weight can vary wildly over the course of even just one day.

Thats why its averaged over multiple days which have the same meal etc,
****wit.

Lots of things like food intake/fluids/sweating/visits to the
loo/exercise/sleep etc.

All of that fixed by doing the weight at the same time of day, just
after getting up after the first ****, with the same clothes, ****wit.

Even state of your metabolism (not feeling well etc) can affect the
result.

Yes, thats why exercise helps, ****wit.

Most peoples weight can vary naturally by a pound or so a week.

But not in a day at the same time every day just after getting
up after the first **** of the day with the same clothes, ****wit.

So going by the gram etc is pointless.

I never said anything about going by the gram, ****wit.

I chose to do without any main meal at all yesterday
and saw a full 1.2 KG drop in weight, ****wit.


1.2 KG !!? boy you must be well overweight to lose that much in one day.

I often miss out on my main meal and my weight is virtually the same the
next day after doing so.
