I'm 5'2 and on average I fluctuate between 110-120lbs. Came home from work and weighed myself, came in @ 114.3, went to the bathroom and weighed again immediately after and weighed in @ 118.6? Is it normal to gain so much after urinating??

    Unless you drank a gallon of water or ate a giant feast while you were on the toilet, no, you did not actually weigh 4 pounds more after peeing than before. Your scale’s got an issue or something.

    Does your scale have the same issue after #2? Just wondering.

    I don't think it is normal to weigh yourself before and after you urinate.

    Maybe check your scale with a weight or change the battery if you are getting odd readings.

    Please tell me your name is Bear Grylls....

    There's some people out there that honestly believe that drinking their own p!ss is beneficial. One of my family members does because he believes it's good for him.

    Ok.

    I like to do it before and after. For statistical reasons. ;)
