Weigh less after pooping?

I was like you the once a week pooper but I take some awesome fiber pills now and also this tea called DIETAFIT FAST MAX DETOX I got it from the Russian store in Auburn, WA but Im sure you can find it at a health store also try WU-YIN CLEANSING TEA GOOD LUCK WITH THE POOPS!:laugh:

Wu-Yin is also a stimulant laxative.

So according to my scale....I weigh 3 lbs less after pooping! Is this right?!

Dang that must have one hell of a do-do.

I never lose anything weightwise afterwards - I am beginning to think it is a conspiracy :laugh:

Congratulations on your 3lb poop baby! I always weigh more after I poop.

Wow. Another person defying the laws of nature.

Of all the weird mfp threads I've seen, this one is right up there, people.

I've always heard the phrase "a pound a poop" which I interpreted as on average you'd drop a pound every time you pooped but I've checked before and the scale doesn't seem sensitive enough to tell some times lol

Curiosity led me to weigh my "output" once - 300g or 11 ozs - so a pound a poop sounds about right.

you might need stitches! LMAO

Congratulations on your 3lb poop baby! I always weigh more after I poop.

You and me both! lol

Congratulations on your 3lb poop baby! I always weigh more after I poop.

Your poop must be helium filled. Stop eating all those balloons.

your scales must really aggravate the crap out of you.

i weigh my self like 20 times a day, i LOVE to see how my body changes, it helps me track my weight loss better. i too have poop problems. i got every 3 days or so and its usually for 2 days im running to the bathroom. my poops usually weigh about 1-2 pounds, i have checked this after every poop, but its not just poop is your urine as well. so yes it is normal to weigh less after using the bathroom when peeing OR pooping. why else do you think they say to weigh yourself AFTER you pee in the mornings? your body is ejecting your digested good which is obviously going to change your weight. its like taking off all your clothes.

Just read the follow up replies since last night. OMG, still LOLing at this thread.

Of course I hope nothing is medically wrong and that she is not in major danger -- of course. But this thread is funny ...

I have come to notice this site, MFP, that we really do band together and become a community that doesn't seem phased by the TMI moments.

Um...having a bowel movement once a week is NOT healthy. I can just imagine all of the toxins that are sitting in your intestines/bowels, just waiting to make you sick! Ugh! Sounds like you need a good colon cleanse. And a new GI doc.

It makes sense that you'd weigh less after pooping since the poo would weigh something and it was inside you, and now it's not.

This thread is just way too funny. But since we're on the topic of poo, I just pooed and now I feel so much better.

My personal best is 5lbs.

Unless you have some sort of weird anti-gravity colon, then yes, you weight less after pooping. :laugh:

I have pooping issues too! For me it's a lot of nerves. When I am stressed, my colon just. stops. Ugh, it's horrible! My record is 4.5lbs. There was a mercy flush involved. I take fibre supplements, and eat a tonne of fruits and veg and whole grains most days. Nothing helps.
