      I eat while pooping. It's kind of like eating back your exercise calories.

      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?

      Lol. Does this work after you pee as well?

      Wow that must have been one massive turd! I do not see much weight difference if at all any after a poop

      Gold!

      Same here. Turd volume is negligible at best. Although its definitely a good time to weight yourself, post elimination...

      0.8 =/= 1/8th

      Poop is a funny topic, but chronic constipation is actually pretty serious. It really can kill you. "Normal" is 1-2 bowel movements a day. At the very least, you should be pooping every 3 days. Though since you're taking a huge dump when you do go, you're probably okay (more worrisome if you're only going once a week and it's just a small amount). I have a family member like that, she only craps once a week but it's a 30 minute event and apparently it's massive (I'll take her word for it).

      Still, you should be drinking plenty of water, getting regular exercise, and eating plenty of fruits and veggies. I know you said you've tried eating fruits and veggies before, but how long did you do it? I mean, if you eat a handful of carrots for a few days, that's not going to help. You need a high amount of natural fiber for a more significant period of time to see results. I normally eat a lot of vegetables and drinks tons of water, and you could set a clock by my bowel movements. LOL

      That's hard to believe. There are babies that are born that weigh only 6 or 7 pounds. That is nearly half a baby coming out of your rectum. I would get it checked out because it is not healthy to go once per week. I normally lose from .4 to .8 lbs of weight after going.

      They do have catchers that just sit over your toilet! That would be much easier than touching it :flowerforyou:
