Well, if you are passing the methane out of you, that would make you lighter than actually. It sure makes me feel lighter when I do anyway lol.

If you are losing methane, than you are losing mass, and weight but the two are not the same. Weight depends on gravity, if you were on the moon you would weigh 1/6 that of earth because the gravitational pull is 1/6 that of earth. But on the moon, or earth, or mars you would still have the same mass. Weight is measured on a scale, mass is measured on a balance.

Actually methane is lighter than air

For that to be true then when you pass wind, you're actually sucking IN methane gas?
That's a neat trick.

Not really - As your digestive tract accumulates methane you will become slightly lighter but when you expell it you will not only return to your original weight but become vastly less attractive to the opposite sex.

Surely if you're expelling the methane from your body, you would be getting lighter.

No, its its the lager and kababs that cause the wind, that make you heavier.
