Not sure I understand. To calculate a weight change
for 30 days. I would take the one closest to 30 days back from my most
recent weight, regardless of what all the weights were in between.
Why the fluctuation? same scales? same time
of day? same recorder?

"last recorded weight" per manual, pg 3-150.
I
am posting this again - hoping someone will take a few minutes to
reply.
We are having some discussion here on section K and I am very
interested in knowing how everyone fills out section K3 Weight Change. You
are looking back (from the ARD) 30 days and 180 days - you take the current
weight and compare with weights done 30 days ago and 180 days ago - we got
that. The question is if there is more than one weight done in that 30 day
look back - do you compare your most current with the last one done in that
30 day window or do you compare with the lowest weight recorded regardless
if it is closest to the most current or the highest weight in the window.
How are you all doing this?? Thank you in advance.
