Muscles weigh more than shit. When you were shitting, you were flexing really hard and built muscle.

Congrats on the gains.

    The real answer is that bathroom scales have god awful precision and accuracy.

    Most mid market scales buffer the weight to normalize it. I got a $20 one off Amazon that just tells me fresh every time and it’s great. I pooped .4lbs this morning.

    Most digital bathroom scales will repeat your last measurement if it hasn't changed by more than half a pound. I pick up a 1 lb soap bottle off the counter first, then measure again without it for my weigh in.

    Customers really hate seeing if a scale has a little inaccuracy in back to back measurements, so they all build in this bullshitting.

    I'm short-sighted and on our mechanical scale, I can't see the thin lines to count out the precise kilos.
    At first, I was bothered by that, but yeah, in addition to natural weight fluctuations, just bouncing a bit on the scale would stop it at different kilos, so eventually I considered it more of a feature that I couldn't tell precisely.

    Methane is lighter than air. You deflated your balloon intestines by removing the cork, so the methane and other gases are no longer giving you a modicum of buoyancy.

    That's why you have to be sure to leave a dump and not take a dump.

    It's all the coffee you drank you make that poop a reality.

    Makes sense if you've got a lot of hair. Water ain't exactly light

    Quick, eat an entire pizza by yourself to drop the weight again.

    I'll bet you put your phone down the first time, and it was in your pocket the second time. Poop weighs incredibly little.

    I once lost 4 pounds just by pooping.

    No, don't be ashamed. 1 out of 3000 Americans is a Reverse-Pooper; it's time we recognize their struggle

    this can only be explained if your shit is lighter than air, did it fly away?
