Kinda gross question...

cassandra77

I usually weight myself in the morning, before I eat with no cloths on. So my question is, and I know it is gross lol, but do you weight yourself before or after you poop? Again, sorry this is gross, but I usually poop in the morning and I weigh myself after. Am I cheating???

crlujan

Heck NO! That's when I try to weigh myself.

Every little bit counts!

Doesn't really matter, just try and be consistent. The net loss will be the same but the numbers on the scale will be a bit lower after BM.

tashasbaby

LMAO No your not cheating hun, poop and wee are both waste products so should both be got rid of before weighing yourself lol

laurasimmons

I wish I pooped first thing in the morning because I would definitely weigh myself afterwards!

cassandra77

Awesome... thanks guys!

Always have my morning poop and a small breakfast before going to the gym and weighing in. You'd be surprised how much a bowel movement weighs sometimes.

vcatmb44

no thats when its more accurate

mandijo

Oh I definitely poop before I weigh. The gals I weigh in with all agree that it will help you lose about .2-.3 HAHAHAHA! Every bit counts!

MissAnjy

Not cheating, i defintiely try to poop before i weigh in haha

PaulaAvery

lol... as long as you weigh yourself in same situation each time then its an accurate reading. so.. ALWAYS poop first and weigh self naked!

I agree with this. Just don't force yourself. You don't want bust anything. ;-P

I drink coffee and for some reason it always makes me poop, which is good because a few years ago I would go days without pooping... so unhealthy and uncomfortable!

I actually read that you can have a couple lbs of BM in your body at a time- very normal.

I always weigh after, that is easier to be consistent if you are regular.

Cristy_AZ

LOL!! Always after!! Never thought of it as cheating!!! Just be consistent.

Schula03

Make sure you poop, trim and clean out from under your fingernails, get the toe jam out between your toes and remove any lint from your belly button. Then, and only then, step on the scale. LOL.

I LOVED this question because I was just thinking the same thing this week and weighed myself after. I think it's a question that EVERYBODY has asked themselves. Haha, thanks.

eyeballer

Thanks for asking this! Today, the difference for me was a whole pound!

Haha no problem guys

There is nothing gross about it. I don't know why so many people have issues with discussing bodily functions. We all do it.

I never see that much of a difference if I poop before weighing.

haha you crack me up! I say after for sure! I do!

Don't forget to shave the legs and armpits too!

It's not gross its a natural part of life....atleast people were calling it a BM or poop instead of saying ****. Anyway I wish my body had timing like that since I just had a huge BM bet I would have dropped another pound. But I agree if you can try to not drink or eat anything get all your waste products out and then jump on the scale naked. I actually hold my breath because I think the air in my lungs might change the scale a wee bit LOL!

Denita

hahahaha... you're funny. not gross at all.. i'm sure we've all thought it. i weight in the morning first thing so i don't always get to do my thing before but it will work out in then end at my next weigh in. )
