I usually weight myself in the morning, before I eat with no cloths on. So my question is, and I know it is gross lol, but do you weight yourself before or after you poop? Again, sorry this is gross, but I usually poop in the morning and I weigh myself after. Am I cheating???

    Doesn't really matter, just try and be consistent. The net loss will be the same but the numbers on the scale will be a bit lower after BM.

    Always have my morning poop and a small breakfast before going to the gym and weighing in. You'd be surprised how much a bowel movement weighs sometimes.

    I drink coffee and for some reason it always makes me poop, which is good because a few years ago I would go days without pooping... so unhealthy and uncomfortable!

    I actually read that you can have a couple lbs of BM in your body at a time- very normal.

    I always weigh after, that is easier to be consistent if you are regular.

    Make sure you poop, trim and clean out from under your fingernails, get the toe jam out between your toes and remove any lint from your belly button. Then, and only then, step on the scale. LOL.

    I LOVED this question because I was just thinking the same thing this week and weighed myself after. I think it's a question that EVERYBODY has asked themselves. Haha, thanks.

    There is nothing gross about it. I don't know why so many people have issues with discussing bodily functions. We all do it.

    I never see that much of a difference if I poop before weighing.

    It's not gross its a natural part of life....atleast people were calling it a BM or poop instead of saying ****. Anyway I wish my body had timing like that since I just had a huge BM bet I would have dropped another pound. But I agree if you can try to not drink or eat anything get all your waste products out and then jump on the scale naked. I actually hold my breath because I think the air in my lungs might change the scale a wee bit LOL!
