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

I am in fact just a little outside the ideal BMI range.

I often miss out on my main meal

I'm not talking about the main meal,
I am talking about the ONLY meal.

All I ate that day was my 'breakfast' which is
just a single slab of my multigrain toast that
I make in the bread machine, with a normal
amount of margarine and marmalade on it
and a single glass of water in the evening.
Nothing else to drink and no alcohol at all.

and my weight is virtually the same the next day after doing so.

Because of what else you eat and drink that day, stupid.

I sometimes don't eat anything all day (literally).
My weight hardly changes the next *morning, before a meal or a drink*,
if at all. It's too soon to lose lots of weight unless you're burning
outrageous amounts of calories.
