    A Kellogs fiber bar or a fiber one bar the night before you go to bed. They really work, at least for me.

    Lemon juice in water. Get enough juice in there to make it tangy. That gets me going pretty fast.

    I'm not sure what I expected when I saw this topic, but I had to look at it, lol. I pee in the morning before weighing in, but I don't really worry about the rest, lol.

    A stool softener the night before, and exercise when you wake up. I would suggest coffee also, but if you don't pee it all out, you might as well weigh yourself without pooping. :)

    Really coffee helps with that? caffeine or sans caffeine?
    If its caffeine then can I drink tea instead or won't it have the same effect?

    ACTUALLY come to think of it last Christmas I visited some of my boyfriends friends that were missionaries from Italy. EVERY house we went to we had cappuccino. By house 3 I badly had to run to the wash room! Wow!

    I need to break my coffee maker back out!

    Doesn't it all just even itself out in the end? You'll see results whether you poop or not if you're losing weight. We're all in this for the long run, anyway, right?

    you're better off to wake up pee then weigh immediately....drinking something to get the poop going is going to defeat the purpose, you will then have the water weight in you. You could always take a stool softener the night before like someone suggested but do you really wanna do that every time you weigh? Everyone has different poop schedules!!! Up your fiber and hope for the best if not just pee and weigh!!

    haha...when I saw this title I actually LOL'ed.

    My wife thinks I am weird because I am so on "schedule" with my poop'ing.

    I poop every morning when I get up. Usually within the first 30 minutes of waking up. It is great because it is predictable.
    I wake up, brush, wash up, dress, have some cereal, poop, off to work.

    I don't drink coffee (don't like the taste of it) but I hear from everyone that does drink coffee that it makes them poop.

    Why not just disregard your actual weight and just watch the trend of losing weight? Seriously, it doesn't matter what your real weight is. If you're in a caloric deficit and you have been active, you're losing weight. Weighing yourself should only be an estimate. Stop caring.
