Silly question, but I would love opinions

Again, sorry if this sounds stupid.

I weigh 50kg/110lbs and I fluctuate onto 51kg/11lbs quite frequently, so my question is..
Do I write online/tell others when they ask how much I weigh/etc that I am 50kg, or tell them that I am my fluctuation weight of 51kg?

What would you do?

Thanks :happy:

    Erm I don't have an answer really I don't know why 1kg is causing such deliberation.
    I guess I would probably go with 50kg

    Why are people asking how much you weigh, anyway?

    "50ish"
    "50, give or take"
    "around 50"

    My rule is the weight has to stay up or down for one week before I record a change in my maintenance weight. I weigh daily so I can adjust exercise and calories in or drink more water ... or all three to keep my weight steady - now.

    OK, I'm just wondering, besides why people would be so concerned over your specific weight, is how do you equate 1kg with 11lbs? A kg equals 2.2lbs so if you weigh 50kg that equals 110lbs and 51kg equals 112.2lbs. Or am I missing something????

    I use TrendWeight.com (free site) which tracks my average weight. I use that as my official weight. Highs and lows don't count then.

    A fluctuation of 2-3 pounds is normal and probably due to water retention. I usually don't say I'm at a certain weight unless the scale tells me 3 days in a row.

    I'm not surprised that people ask your weight - as rude as it is I think they mean well and are just curious. And people don't ask how much you weight when you're a lot overweight, but when you're thinner people do. I'd just give them a round number and not worry about a pound (kg) here or there.
