Let me get this straight.  If you put a hypothetical mass, say, ten 
times the mass of the earth, in an orbit exactly opposite the earth, the 
gravity under your feet will be countered by a certain amount by the 
extremely large and distant mass over your head?  In other words, to 
simplify things, without extra masses...you weigh less at noon?
