  • All I know is I make sure I've peed, pooped and am wearing my birthday suit when my feet hit that scale. :-)

I've been constipated, won't way till I go.

I LOVE THIS! Made me laugh! It's comforting to know I'm not the only one who's done this! Because we do dialysis at home for my husband, he has to weigh himself before and after treatment, and the weight after the waste is removed from his blood is called his "dry weight".. So I consider my post BM weight my dry weight. LMAO!

I've done this, and come down a pound. Lol

Dry weight. Perfect. I love this forum. I post a bizarre thought and instead of people thinking I am nuts you relate.

usually a pound or two

Lordy, seems like 5 ponds or more some days :)

My 16 year old brother always likes to weigh before he poops for some reason lol and usually he ends up weighing about 3 pounds lighter or so.

Now - that's desperate! :)

Poop is not created equal. "Healthy" poop will float. High Fiber poop will be the heaviest, because it can hold the most Water.

Unfortunately your question is pretty much impossible to answer (by me anyway). Too many variables. And it would also require a volume to be taken, and I'm so not going there.

A good poop, and all it involves, might relieve you of 0.5 - 1.25 lbs on average. This doesn't answer how much poop weighs (because if you poop a plum vs. a loaf of bread - totally disparity).

I have always wondered this too. I tried once after a really good blowout and lost 3+ lbs. But usually a pound plus some.

Drink coffee first....

Lmao a "blowout" that's a great way of putting it! And I agree, drink coffee!!!!

We shouldn't do it, but I have weighed pre and post BM before as well.
