A small experiment

I know everyone hears about how they shouldn't weigh themselves too often, but hear me out!
What I want you to do is weigh yourself. First thing in the morning.
Now, I want you to pour a cup of water 250mls. 250ml water = 250 grams = .55 pounds.
DONT DRINK IT YET!
Stand on your scale WITH the water. The weight should read .5/.6 pounds higher than without water.
Now DRINK IT.
Did the scale change? I doubt it!

And that's only 250ml! How much water do you drink in a day? How often do you pee?

As such, I would like to motion that maybe, instead of weighing yourself at a certain time, do it right after you visit the washroom!
I think this should give you the best idea of what your optimal current minimum weight is! You have the least amount of food/waste material/water in your system at this point. Therefore, if you see the scale dropping during this period, good is happening!

If my assumptions are incorrect, simply inform me and I'll pretend this thought experiment never happened!

I always wait until I've used the bathroom before weighing myself :laugh:

I always weigh myself first thing in the morning after hitting the bathroom.

LMAO this is how I get caught online at work!!

On a side note I always weigh first thing in the AM, after using the restroom, before I get in the shower.
