Scale before poop or after?

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.0

Before and after. ;-)0

@kettiecat Great minds think alike.1

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 ) Although there is something to be said about weighing before, and after and feeling like you just dropped a pants size.0

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.0

I just weigh myself right after my morning pee.1

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.0 -
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.1

Don't overthink it. The goal is fat loss, ultimately.1

How is this a question? Obviously BOTH for science5

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.1 -

I take a colonoscopy prep, several diuretics, use a catheter to remove any extra urine, shave all the hair from my body, cut my nails, and remove my dental fillings before weighing myself.11

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.1
