I weigh myself nearly every morning. I'm not obsessive, it's just a way for me to keep on top of my intake as I'm in maintenance. So after a dinner out last night....and a couple of cocktails, I expected there might be a small gain today. I was more than a pound up from yesterday morning so I figured it was water as I know I didn't go to town foodwise. To my surprise, I felt the need to eliminate before even having breakfast which is unusual for me. After taking care of business..and knowing I got rid of more than expected, for the heck of it, I got back on the scale and suddenly that pound plus was less than a half pound gain. So when you get on the scale, know that if you made good choices, don't freak out if the scale doesn't do what you expect as you too, might be full of sh*t. Haha!

Probably a good reason to do the weigh in's once a week or so. Human's are complicated. We can retain stuff and let it go rather quickly.

BTW, for the record: Each day, on average, people produce 1 ounce of poop for each 12 pounds of their body weight. The average poop is 2.5 pounds.

LOL!

Haha! It's very true though!

LOL. I had to look at this post just because of the title knowing full well beforehand what you were going to say.

Hahaha i love this post.

I actually did do an experiment to see the difference between being full and the difference it makes.

Who would have thought poop weighs so much lol

I now weigh after i have my morning poop... i wanna make sure there isn't anything extra weighing me down hahaha

I thought this was going to be a constipation thread. Thanks for the laugh.

We are an honest and funny group. We can even discuss bodily functions .... Both ends seem to be big topics!

I know I feel old when I'm concerned about how much or little I have to go... Reminds me of my darling Italian grandpa... That was his go- to topic. As I age, I understand him more [emoji171]

Liz you are too funny. Yes, I weigh every morning, try to wait until the morning BM. my weight will fluctuate a lb or so depends on what I ate the day before. I am not obsessed just want to stay on track.

Love this because I have now come to appreciate that it's not me but the stool and since I have always had issues in that area it is worse now. A good poo is beneficial in many ways
