Your weight fluctuates during the day, which is why it's important to weigh yourself at the same time of day, especially if you're trying to lose weight.
But 2-3kg is enough to make a difference as to whether or not you're considered overweight (BMI is, of course, a horrible indicator of health, but it still gets used that way), and if you're on the edge, it can also make a difference in the size of your pants.

- SyneRyder 10y ago+1 on the last part. I've just started trying to lose about 3kg (slightly more), and the trigger is that my jeans were feeling tight & my t-shirts now looked unflattering. It's difficult to find clothes that fit me and rather than replace my semi-custom wardrobe imported from overseas, losing weight & getting in shape seems a better option. 3kg for me, if purely fat, adds 5% to my body fat percentage (ie from 15% - 20%).
