Weighing after going to the bathroom- what does this mean to you?

KickassAmazon76

Just a statement of fact here:

If my scale shows a two pound loss after I poop... I celebrate. I text my friends. We all rejoice.
Because I am finally not nearly as full of sheet as I used to be!

I refuse to acknowledge the validity of a scenario that suggests the 2 pound loss is just a mis-measurement.

No! It really was that awesome of a poop. I clearly worked hard for that!

@Silentpadna, you really enjoyed that didn't you

I too would like to know about the balloon, asking for a friend who isn't keen on being the guineapig.

Cheers, h.

Yeah....a little bit of fun. And, honestly seeing if I'm missing something conceptually. I'm an engineer by trade, but my science stuff like this was learned 30+ years ago and I don't really use it now. I don't know if there is a blind spot here....I know none of this is significant to the thread, but I just couldn't let it go by.

Yes, if you put methane into a balloon - assuming you put enough of it in there, it should float (depends on the weight of the balloon of course).

Scales lie so don't worry too much about the specifics. I've actually had a morning where I weighed more after #2 than before, and I hadn't had as much as coffee yet that morning. WTF? How is that even possible? You lying sack of scales!

3. Weigh
4. Record

This is exactly what I've been doing since starting this thread. A huge and stupidly insignificant stress has been lifted off my shoulders!

I love the fact that you got this much mileage out of a *kitten* thread! That said, I've been hoping to get rid of the 6 extra pounds of poo I've been packing around over the last couple months, it just isn't happening so back to the drawing board.

I go nuts if I forget to weight myself before I get dressed. There's times that I go back into the bathroom and get undressed to do it. I've weighed myself after peeing and it is around a .2 difference on average but every little drop mentally makes me feel better about myself so I happily take it. Honestly don't think poop weighs that much but definitely can feel the difference after lol

I'll tell you what makes me insane is when I go to the doctors and they weigh me with clothes....shoes and middle of the day sfter breakfast and lunch!
Anymore...I close my eyes and I tell them...dont tell me cause it's bad for my mental outlook

Kick off your shoes. IME, they won't judge.

At my last job I had been known to say, " I got to take a dump", I don't say that anymore, I now work in retail...

When I had a scale in my home, I would weigh after poo, and before breakfast, I was/am quite reg. in that I would go within a 1/2 hour of waking, now I don't have a scale at my house, so I just weigh at the gym 1 day a week. The daily fluctuation would drive me batty...

And here I am, looking forward to the day that I will weigh myself with clothes on! ... But kidding aside ... I can relate to the question

Don't joke about that

Just came off a case of med induced constipation. I'm now 6lbs lighter (after having progressively gained them over the course of 2 weeks).


Also, I'm jealous of all you clockwork regular folks

dr scales always seem to run hi

perkymommy

I weigh before eating in the mornings. I don't care if I've gone poop or not lol. I do pee first though but no meal yet and completely nekkid

I get up, pee--weigh--make coffee--take a sip or two--walk around a bit--back to the bathroom like clockwork because of the warm coffee--weigh again--record it---done!
And yes, there is a difference in the numbers. For me between .2-.4 of a pound. Beef takes longer to process through the body and usually causes a bigger dip in the number.
