I was listening to the radio this morning and heard a preview for today's episode of "The doctors.". He said that at any given time there are 3 1/2 pounds of bacteria living in your gut. So my question is from now on when I weigh myself should I deduct 3 1/2 pounds in "bacteria estimate."

(on a side note the episode is about all of the micro organisms and bacteria that lives in, on, and around your body. Most of me wants to skip this episode but part of me is feeling compelled to watch it. Shivers.)

    LOL! My first thought was "now does that make 130.5 pounds my true weight? I mean I wouldn't weight myself while holding my toddler, right?"
