    So, as you can see, there are tons of different answers (for both). So, my suggestion - pick one and do that. Just be consistent...either ALWAYS before or ALWAYS after.

    As others have said, it doesn't really matter. Your post did remind me of this though:

    Yeah, this has certainly happened to me! It's baffling, but not enough to truly care about

    Why don't you weigh yourself right before and right after you drop the deuce then subtract the difference from your morning weigh in. Better yet, toss the thing on a scale.

    lmao

    I weight first thing in the AM, after peeing. After poo would be ideal, as I feel like that's my "real weight". It doesn't always happen though. So I'm not worried about it. (I'm not exactly an early pooper :sweat_smile: ) Although there is something to be said about weighing before, and after and feeling like you just dropped a pants size. :lol:

    After in the mornings. All that matters is that you track your trends at a consistent time, be that morning, noon or evening or whenever.

    I just weigh myself right after my morning pee.

    I can only wish to be that predictable. As it is, I weigh first thing in the morning, after peeing and in naught but my undies.

    Every. Single. Damn. Time.

    To the point that now, if I go in the morning, I *don't* weigh after.

    I do it after, did a before and after “experiment. ” After evacuation I was a pound lighter than before! It doesn’t really matter though.

    Don't overthink it. The goal is fat loss, ultimately.

    If you want a solid (hehe) baseline, then weigh after. I eat late anyway so it works for me. Otherwise, just use a weight trending app and weigh at the same time every day and it'll give you an average.

    Do a before and after once in a while, just for fun.

    I weigh after I've been to the toilet but I'm not particularly regular and it doesn't seem to make a difference. (I'm one of those who's weighed before and after out of curiosity and it's made no difference to the scale.) In any case, weight loss is a long term project so a couple of grams here and there because of waste, like water weight or any other reason for fluctuating weight is going to even out over time.
