So I'm wondering... At high tide do we weigh less than at low tide?
 Damn I need to find something to do!

Tide may lag the moon a little, not sure.
Yes, the moon affects your weight, but obviously not a whole lot. |

But check this out:
Alt text: In Rio de Janeiro in 2016, the same jump will get an athlete 0.25% higher (>1cm) than in London four years prior. |

Yeah, since the moon obviously pulls water (tide) it will affect our weight somewhat. Probably not by more than a pound or two, I wouldn't guess.

Of course it does, I have proof!
It is a well known fact that the Moon is moving away from the Earth at ~2.5cm/year, that would mean gravity here on Earth would be more prevalent. By the above hypothesis and the fact that I have slowly been gaining weight - my hypothesis is proved!!! |

Weight? Yes.
Mass? No. |

Quoted: Weight? Yes. Mass? No. Someone suggested the moon affects the mass of things on earth? That's silly. |
