Most peoples weight can vary naturally by a pound or so a week.
So going by the gram etc is pointless.

Bingo and +1

And the vast majority of bathroom scale makers apparently agree,
because I have yet to see one that measures down to the gram.

Well, mine resolves[*] to 45 grams (tenth of a pound). Note that one
should generally weigh oneself at the same time of day for a valid
comparison (and generally after the morning constitutional, which
can result in a quick loss of up to a pound or more).

[*] Keeping in mind the difference between precision and accuracy.

I bought a beam scale when I was dieting 30 years ago. Floor spring
scales were not
accurate. It was a bit expensive, but it measured repeatedly to the
ounce.

I made it a point to weigh myself once a week only.

Mad, its much more accurate to do it daily just after getting up
after the first **** of the day, always with the same clothes or none.

Another BS claim. It's obviously just as accurate for the same scale
to weigh you once a week as it is for the scale to weigh you every day.
The scale doesn't know what day it is, moron. And neither do you.
