Had to weigh a parcel just now that was too big to fit on my kitchen scales. So I stepped on my bathroom scales with and without the parcel to calculate the weight.

Unfortunately I now weigh 73.0 kg. On 6th March my weight was 71.7 kg so I've put on 1.3 kg in almost exactly a month :-(
I thought I was being moderately frugal too. So now my BMI is 25.2, just inside the NHS overweight category.

It seems a lot of weight gain for one month, did I misread the scales before, was the battery low? Anyway, 73 kg is too much, time to cut down portions again, no more adding a cinnamon bun to my IKEA breakfast.

I just cut down on the size of the portions plus cut out the sweets. Works for me

@turbineman40 Actually I think I over-reacted. I normally weigh myself naked but today i was just weighing the parcel so I should probably deduct half a kilo to account for my clothes.

But yes, i need to cut down just a little.

@ninalanyon That reminds of a time when I weighed a complete set of damp outdoor-pursuits clothing and gear.

I had a shock. A stone (31kg).

And there were I thinking the hills were getting steeper or gravity stronger!

@ArishMell I think you multiplied instead of dividing. 1 stone = 14 lb (avoirdupois) = 6.35 kg
