I don't own a scale. I go to monthly meetings down the block when I want to get weighed and assure myself that binging on chocolate granola and fiber one bars hasn't driven me too far from my Weight Watchers goal. But I digress.
Sometimes, when I am outside of my home and I notice there is a scale in the bathroom that I am about to use, I weighh myself before I excrete. And then I weigh myself after I excrete. The aim of this exercise is to see how much weight I appear to have lost via urination and defecation. Or rather to see how much my pee and poo weigh. It's kind of awesome. Sometimes I wish I owned a scale just so I could keep tabs on these processes.

Is there an average weight?
ReplyDeleteI think both pee and poo are usually in the range of 0 to 1 lbs.
ReplyDeletei think you need to use a more precise scale for this experiment...
ReplyDeleteI do this nearly every morning. It's fun. Though I suggest waiting about fifteen minutes after excretion to weigh yourself because you need your bladder and colon to adjust back to their normal size. This will give you a higher reading. And these readings should be posted on your blog. Also, Rite-Aid has them for about $15. Go.
ReplyDeleteJess owns a scale now. She just bought it yesterday and then spent the entire day doing this. The scale is in our bathroom (duh) and so far I've resisted the urge (there really is no urge) to repeat this activity. But every time I see the scale I think, "I live with a seriously weird person."
