I always weigh myself at the same time every day, naked and with an empty bladder.
Today I weighed myself with a semi-full bladder and was 0.2lbs up on the day before. Sheesh, I thought.
Then went for a pee. And I was down one pound on the day before.
Water is heavy! And it wasn't even a gully washer either!
Oh, I learned this early on...and I see it every night/morning. I weigh myself at night just before I go to bed and in the morning just after I wake up and pee. The difference is usually about 2 pounds, give or take. The variable is whether I ate something that acts as a diuretic or will cause me to retain.
Yeah that is frustrating for me, I have to go to metabolic research center to weigh in. One day i was there on a Saturday morning, empty stomach and no water yet. The next time I go and it is after work. I had drank about a gallon of water so far that day and eaten all my meals. Of course my weight is going to be more then Saturday.
Thank you thnknthin!! I felt like an outcast with the snarky comments over there! Seriously, I never heard of it. It doesn't make me a bad person!
Yeah, I saw all that....I wanted to say something so bad. I wanted to shout "leave Elvis alone!". You just had the guts to say something probably half of us were thinking.
Sometimes I don't reply nearly as much as I want to, I've had comments geared towards me at times like that and it makes me "reply post shy".
I agree Elvis. Us English have our funny words. The Americans too!
Before I came here I did not know what a faucet was! We call it a tap.
So there I stood in Home Depot for a good five minutes telling the staff that I wanted a tap!
I could go on. Garbage is rubbish. Elevator is lift. Apartment is flat. Shopping cart is trolley (the American supermarket staff wet themselves at that one when I asked for a trolley - they were about to order me a trolley bus!).
It's just two different languages.
Anyway, in England a gully washer is a torrential rain that causes ditches to overflow creating flash floods on streets and roadways. I didn't pee like that!
As for the OP, it is sometimes interesting to see how much water and waste we carry in our bodies and I am always happy if it results in a loss on the scale but never 1lb for just a pee!
Thanks Ian!!! And I LOL'd at you wanting a tap and a trolley, so so funny!!
And amandie, no way!! It wasn't you. You are a sweety!!! Someone else who posted in a few threads last night with unnecessary comments. I think it's British to say her knickers were in a knot?? At least that's my polite version!!
