Weigh after a poo

Lots of people say this and I try to if possible but does anyone have any idea how much difference it actually makes? Anyone weighed before and after?

Probably makes some difference, but surely the best thing is to weigh yourself once a week at the same time of day, whether full of shit or not?

Ive weighed before and after a few times. Mostly cos I weighed myself then decided I needed a shit so weighed again. It can vary on the difference. I have lost a couple of lbs before, but usually 0.2lbs or so.

ifailed I'm sure you're right and that's what I do generally but just curious as I hear it mentioned quite a bit.

onlyconnect I don't see the point, it seems a bit like 'cheating' yourself, and could lead to obsessive weighing. Our weight fluctuates throughout the day anyway, hence why it's best to do it weekly at the same time. I've known people get terribly upset because they've 'put on' 2 lbs in a day. Of course they haven't, but it causes a lot of distress.
