    Hahaha! I was wondering the same thing just yesterday. I weighed one day before dd ate, then weighed after and was like a pound lighter too. It had never dawned on me until then. Now I am sure to feed the little one before I step on the scale!!

    I stopped nursing recently, but when I did I would weigh at least a 1 lb less after nursing!!

    Yes I either do that or if i weigh before I just subtract the amount I pump out afterwards. It's usually 4oz-8oz so that's 1/2 lb-1 lb difference!

    Hmm...never thought about this. Although I've been up and down the same 2 or 3 pounds for the past month. Sigh.

    I did one morning out of curiosity and was surprised that I'd lost 1/2lb! Now I always weigh myself first thing in the am, no clothes, post-pee, and subtract 1/2lb for milk weight. (I get up and have my breakfast before my baby wakes. It's generally the only uninterrupted chunk of "me time" I get all day). :laugh:
