A couple of days ago, I took an airplane from OK to MA and my weight didn't shift at all (well technically it did "shift" some when I was 30000 ft in the air but whose counting). Neither did my height, the length of my nose or the length of my right pinky. However, with respect to an inertial frame of reference my COM "shifted" about 1600 miles (we actually flew into PVD). Now I will probably eat too much tomorrow which will indeed "shift" my weight.
