    Holy hell! I was just saying it blows my mind how much weight I gain after I eat.
    Note to self:don't weigh myself after I eat
    Note to self:everyone on mfp forums is a expert trainer/nutritionist.
    Note to self:never post anything in mfp forums again...

    This. Drink a gallon of water then weigh yourself. You'll weigh more, but nutritionally and calorie wise, you've not done anything.

    What do you think happens to food when you eat it?
    Why are you repeatedly weighing yourself after you eat? What's the purpose?
    Just curiosity I guess?.

    The point was if you eat a pound of food and then weigh yourself you are going to weigh a pound more. Same for the food going the other direction.

    This is my problem too, I would weigh myself in the morning, after I ate, after I got dressed, after I went to the restroom... It got a little crazy and hectic.
    So, now I force myself to weigh myself only once a week. I asked my boyfriend to hide the scale from me until Wednesday mornings, before I eat. Then he takes it back into Narnia or wherever he puts it. Lol!

    Isn't he though? Also, I really wish people knew how to hashtag properly OR has the hashtag now taken the place of "no offense but ..." right before you say something offensive?

    Are you under the impression your stomach contains an anti-gravity device? The food you eat and the liquids you drink have weight - if you eat it, that weight becomes part of you until the intake is digested.

    I thought "just sayin" is the new "no offense".

    Because food has a weight and it's now in your stomach.

    Correct. This was discussed on page 1.
