Unverified data

Unverified data has been collected in environments where protocols and staff may not be validated under GPTQA conditions.

Tip:

To make sure you get the most reliable weight data we recommend weighing yourself on a flat, hard surface i.e. bathroom tiles without clothing.  It is also important to weigh yourself at a consistent time and day i.e. Sunday morning at 8am.

Weigh yourself at the same time, in the same place and take time learn about how your body mass will change throughout the day, week and month.
