Does atmospheric pressure affect the bathroom scales?

I weigh myself almost every morning. I noticed that my weight was less this morning than it has been recently despite the fact that I’ve been enjoying quite a bit of Christmas chocolate and goodies.

  1. Aaron, I know that’s probably a rhetorical question, but there are lots of reasons I wonder about it.I’ll have you know I play with the scales to see if they are really accurate. These particular scales are battery operated and supposedly weigh to the nearest 2/10th of a lb. However, if you’ve ever taken a decent high school chemistry class

  2. c6th, I found that thought on the internet, too, but the one I liked best was this one:no, i don’t think so. when you’re standing on a bathroom scale there is little space around your feet for the ‘atmosphere’ to add up to your weight.

  3. I would say that if there was a change due to atmospheric pressure , your normal bathroom scales would not be sensitive enough to reflect that change to a degree that you would notice. Is this the wrong thing to say to a woman?

  4. Not to change the subject because I am enjoying it, but, BUT does that statement come from ‘normal male mis-statements?

  5. I was once by someone not to keep the scales in the bathroom because the humidity can affect them. (I keep mine in the hallway.)If I eat a high sodium meal, I will usually retain enough fluid to affect my weight the next morning.

  6. I wonder if atmospheric pressure effects water retention or cravings for salt. Maybe I just carry a cloud of atmospheric pressure with me. Maybe it’s atmospheric pressure beneath my feet________________
