    Did you perchance have carbs after 6 last night? Generally screws up your metabolism for a good week.

    Go take a dump and see if you lost said 2.5lbs. Pics Not Needed!

    Probably should remind you to weight yourself after and not the floaters. Buy nah, have fun with it.:laugh:

    What did you eat? A pound of muscle weighs more than a pound of fat.

    A pound is a pound is a pound and it doesn't matter of it's feathers, fat, muscle, bricks or iron. What does matter is density. Muscle is more dense than fat therefore a pound of muscle takes up less space than a pound of fat. A pound of fat takes up about the same space as 3 grapefruit. A pound of muscle takes up the space of about 3 tangerines.

    This is exactly why I don't like grapefruit.

    I used to wonder the same thing. I ate a heavy salad one day and the scale said i jumped over 2 lbs lol.. Its not that it really does. U have to wait for the food to metabolize before you weigh out. My food takes 5 hours to digest, so after i eat my last meal at night, i go weigh in 5 hours later. I know its 5 hours for me cause i tested myself. I took a dulcalax tablet and it took 5 hours to work.

    Why would anyone eat a pound of muscle?

    Just curious why you didn't weigh halfway through your lunch... I mean if you really want to be obsessed with the scale, you need to go all the way or go home!!

    2 cups of water will make you appear to gain 1 pound. See the video below:

    Weight yourself. Drink 2 glasses of water, and immediately after weight yourself again. Voila, 0 calories = 1 pound. It's not your weight, its the weight of the food and water inside your belly. Processed or not.

    I weighed myself before and after lunch, I gained 2.5lbs
    My lunch was only 1000 calories, I also had several glasses of ice cold water (0 cals)

    I guess the rule does not work with me, in my case 1000 calories is actually 2.5lbs

    I salute the awesome magnitude of your troll

    But celery is negative calories (-3500 per pound) and has positive weight

    1 pound = -3500 calories
    -1 pound = 3500 calories

    So if we all eat 35,000 calories we should lose (uhh I mean loose) 10 pounds!
