    " researchers at Vanderbilt University found adults burn an average of 1.3 calories per minute (laughing)"

    I think MFP needs to add this as a cardio excercise.

    Sometimes, I weigh myself before and after pooping, because I am really curious to see how much I lost. Like, this morning, weighed self, peed, weighed self for my actual weigh in ... 0.6lbs less.

    I love this thread.
    I poop like clock work every morning when I wake up, and I always weigh less. So either it's normal, or I'm weird.
    I'm sure that if I only pooped once a week, it would probably weigh as much as a small child.
    Try eating more fiber and drinking more water, and maybe you'll be able to experience the benefits of bowel evacuation more frequently!

    Average weight of a stool is 300g.

    Unless you did a massive turd (5 x normal size) then I reckon something else is going on. Perhaps your scales are giving you erroneous readings, or there's another explanation.
    kind regards,

    If you're having regular BMs, the average BM weights about 0.8 oz. So roughly, that's half a lb of loss.

    How is an eight of an oz. equal half a pound?

    are you guys having a "who's stupider" contest? if so, you both win.

    So.... Two seperate posts I read recenttly. One by a PhD posting interesting information re: scale fluctuations and how to statistically measure your weigh ins... 2 reply's.

    Then, THIS... 14 pages!!!!!!

    What is wrong with you.... um....errrr.... we people????? :laugh:

    BTW, I peed out a full pound before, but haven't managed over about a 1/2 lb. for poo. At least now I have something to shoot for!!! :smile:
