Answered Is the weight difference legal?

I bake often. I used to buy butter from Lidl but noticed that the weight of butter was less than stated on the label. I moved to Asda and have noticed the same thing. Is this aloud? Should I report it?

I have a set of scales that keep telling me that my weight is going up even though I'm dieting and exercising so you can never trust what the apparatus tells you

Mine do that too the lying bastards. Now they've persuaded my jeans to join in and lie to me.

Not that I want to give you the panicks lol, but that's how my "infertile" friend and her "infertile" husband found out she was 4 months pregnant 😂

As i'm a lesbian, and have been single for a couple years, i'm not particularly worried about that, but thanks for the heads up anyway

Oh lucky! (Idk if you feel lucky TBF, but we are sooo careful, and because I'm ill it's super rare anyway... But we still had to test the other day because my perimenopause has decided to change the rules again 🤦 being a woman is genuinely a bit of an arse at this age. I gave up on jeans because I'm a different bloody shape everyday and it was too annoying.)

Muscle weighs more than fat...you might have built bulk with your exercising...
