Yes... not your mass though. Know the difference between mass and weight. The acceleration of Gravity is less as you get further away from the center of the earth. Which would cause you to weigh less. The equation for the force of gravity is GMm/(R^2). Where G is the universal Gravity Constant wich is something like 6.67x10^(-11) and M is the mass of the earth, and m is the mass of the weight being measured. R is the distance from the center of the earth... which increases as you increase in altitude.
