I took a huge dump this morning....and the scale didn't move AT ALL...

There had to be ATLEAST 2 lbs in there when I was finished...

I eat goldfish crackers and gain 2 lbs, I take this monster steamer and I don't lose anything...

Losing weight is hard...

Help?

    Were you eating goldfish crackers while sh*tting? There could be a bigger problem there.

    Sorry, I looked at your journel. You are consistently over your goal. Weightloss does not happen in one day. Going to the bathroom has no effect on the scale. Sorry.

    the body works in funny ways, i wouldn't be as scale conscious, it seems to me you weighed yourself immediately before and immediately after to come to this conclusion...maybe weigh yourself once a week instead.

    I try and do it once a month, I just stared at the scale for so long I had to see if it made a difference...the result made me very very angry

    Maybe the scale has a steamer sensor.

    Over the past week, there was only one day that you were under your goal, plus check out your sodium intake. Up your water, stay under your goal and then you will see the scale move. :smile: BM's aren't going to make a difference, sorry. Good luck on your journey!

    Your counting your calories right. But you are over everytime. The scale isn't going to move on its own. If you are a chef you probably love food. But part of being a chef includes being creative. Expeiriment and see what you like. Keep within your guided calories and you should have no problem. I just started here. My calories are set at 1460 without exercise. Im used to eating between 1800 and 2250. That's a big jump for me. But after doing it for two weeks sometimes it hard to go over 1300. I have bad days like this weekend, but not consistently. Just try it for to weeks and see what happens.

    I beg to differ, I can drop several lbs. in a day just by urinating.

    Well... it has no real effect, but it should definitely have an immediate short-term effect. If you weigh yourself, you are also weighing whatever is in your intestines. So if you weigh yourself immediately before and after, there should be a difference. Maybe poop doesn't weigh all that much...

    I've wondered the same thing on occasion. In fact, you'd think going #1 would cause some slight loss. Water is pretty heavy after all.

    Everyone is right. You could poop all day long and you will NOT lose weight unless you stay at or under your calorie goal. Losing weight is 90% diet and only 10% exercise. Seriously, one day you ate a 2000 calorie breakfast...not the way to do this. My breakfasts are typically about 250-350 calories.

    Your profile says you're a chef. You need to learn about caloric content of foods, then get creative in the kitchen. Find a way to make healthy, lower-calorie dishes. This will not happen for you if you keep eating at the levels you've been eating.

    Except he said he was eating cheetos while he pooped. Kind of counteracts the pooping, I would think.

    There are some things that should never cross the threshold of the bathroom door. Food is one of those things.

    Learn to *kitten* on the toilet instead of a diaper! If you weigh yourself before you *kitten*, then you *kitten* in your diaper but never take it off, your scale won't budge.

    Maybe you will get a better idea of your loss if you crap directly onto the scale. That's what I do.

    Preferably use the same scale you measure your food with. They are more accurate. Don't worry about disinfection either. Just crap, wipe it off, and weigh out your lunch for the day.
