Share on Pinterest To accurately monitor your weight, consistency is key. If you want to be aware of when you’re losing, gaining, or maintaining weight, the best time to weigh yourself is the same time you weighed yourself the last time. Your weight fluctuates over the course of a day. To track your weight, you don’t want to compare how much you weigh first thing in the morning with your weight in the afternoon immediately following eating lunch. Keep reading to learn best practices for keeping track of your weight. Morning is good, but consistency is key If you want to pick a specific time of day to consistently weigh yourself, consider first thing in the morning, after you empty your bladder. This is because morning is typically the end of the longest period of your day in which you haven’t consumed food or participated in strenuous exercise. By weighing yourself when you first get up in the morning, factors such as exercise or what you ate the day before don’t have a meaningful impact. Use an accurate weighing device Consistency in weighing yourself is not limited to the time of day you weigh yourself. For a better measurement of your weight and its fluctuations, consider the equipment you’re using and what else you’re weighing (such as clothing). Some scales are more accurate than others. Ask for a recommendation from: your healthcare provider

a knowledgeable friend

personal trainer You can research sites that include ratings and buyer feedback. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests getting a digital scale as opposed to a spring-loaded scale. Use your equipment correctly Put your scale on a hard, flat, level surface, avoiding carpeting or uneven flooring. The simplest way to calibrate it, after putting it in place, is to adjust the weight to exactly 0.0 pounds with nothing on it. Also, for consistent measurement, when weighing yourself in the morning, weigh yourself after using the restroom and while standing still, which evenly distributes your weight on both feet. Don’t weigh yourself elsewhere Now that you have a good scale that’s properly set up, use it. More importantly, only use this scale, don’t weigh yourself elsewhere. Even if your scale is slightly off, it will be consistent. Any changes will indicate an accurate alteration from the same source. In other words, any change will be a reflection of a true change in weight, not a change in equipment. It’s important to remember that equipment may not always be accurate in presenting weight measurement. A 2017 study involved clinically auditing scales at 27 child health clinics. The results showed that only 16 of 152 scales audited — that’s less than 11 percent — were 100 percent correct. Always weigh the same thing After selecting a scale you’re confident about, always weigh the same thing when you weigh yourself. Probably the most consistent and easiest approach to weighing yourself is getting on the scale naked. If that’s not an option, try to be consistent in your clothing. For example, if you must wear shoes, try to wear the same shoes every time you weigh yourself. Also, understand that the scale will measure the food and liquid you’ve recently consumed. Typically, you weigh more after eating. You’ll usually weigh less after strenuous physical activity because of the water you’ve lost through sweating. This is why one of the best times to weigh yourself is in the morning before you’ve eaten or exercised. For many people, doing their weigh measurement in the morning makes it convenient to strip down and step onto the scale.

Is it normal to lose 2 pounds after pooping?

While you might feel lighter after pooping, you're not actually losing much weight. What's more, when you lose weight while pooping, you're not losing the weight that really matters. To lose disease-causing body fat, you need to burn more calories than you consume. You can do this by exercising more and eating less.

Pooping is simple: When you do it, you’re getting rid of food that was in your body. Is that why we feel lighter after doing our business? Are we actually losing weight? It turns out, yes.

The weight of your poop varies. It depends on several factors:

body size

eating habits

how much water you drink

bowel movement regularity

The average poop weighs around 1/4 pound to 1 pound.

Larger people who eat and drink more, or people who have less-regular bowel movements, have heavier poops. It takes an average of 33 hours for food to be processed into poop and pass out of your body. If we only lose a little bit of weight when we poop, why do we feel so much slimmer finally pooping after being constipated or after a large meal? It’s because pooping reduces gas and bloating. This generally helps you feel more comfortable.

Poop is made mostly of water, but also contains:

dead and living bacteria

protein

undigested food (fiber)

waste material

salt

fat

The longer poop stays in the intestines, the drier and heavier it will become. While most people poop once a day, it’s considered normal to poop as frequently as three times a day or as little as once every three days. Having very frequent, loose watery stools is considered diarrhea. Diarrhea is usually caused by bacterial infections or stress and lasts several days. It can become dangerous when it lasts for weeks or more because it encourages water loss in the body. People with diarrhea can lose a lot of weight if they’ve been sick for a while, but they’re losing mostly water weight.
