It's the silly things!

What things have made you laughed at yourself lately? I'll start.

This morning was my weigh-in day. I always weigh after getting out of the shower (you know, to rinse of that extra tiny little bit!). I got out of the shower, dried myself off and wrapped the towel around my waist. Just as I was about to get on the scale I took off the towel from around my waist so as not to weigh it as well. I got on the scale, checked my weight and got off. I grabbed the towel from around my shoulders and ahah! silly silly me! I took the towel from around my waist, to not weigh it, and then put it on my shoulders. I always enjoy a good chuckle at my own expense!

By the 'weigh,' a wet towel weighs about 1 pound (3500 carbs).

Lol, I've done things like that, the one that sticks out at me the most is the other morning I got up to run. Now, I've programmed myself, just to get up and get ready because I am not awake, so kinda like on autopilot. I went out the door with two different shoes on and no undies...lol

I always weigh myself first thing in the morning after peeing. I always thought that if you weigh after taking a shower, your hair is all full of water, and your skin has absorbed a lot of moisture as well... I think water weighs a lot more than some specks of dirt.

Not that is matters much

We all overthink the weighing thing a little too much

I know, it makes no sense. I have long hairs to boot which holds lots of water, but a routine is a routine. I think before the shower I'd leaning against the wall which isn't very accurate either.

Actually, I have weighed myself before and after a shower before, for curiosity sake. I found that after shower and my hair dried, when I weighed myself I was .5 pounds lighter than I was before my shower. I have heard from others on the board that it was the same for them too. I still normally weigh myself before my shower since I let my hair air dry and I normally want to at least drink something before it's totally dried.

that's like the mountain climber who drank all his water so he wouldn't have to carry it...

Hmmm...I always weigh more after the shower. I wonder what the difference is?

Are you peeing in the shower


LOLOLOL

I take long HOT showers. It could be that while standing in the hot water, you are sweating at the same time. "A pint is a pound, the world around" so it would only take sweating 8 ounces to make a half pound difference.

I deffinately weigh before I shower
Dreadlocks are like sponges, they suck up water as crazy !!!!!
I probably would weigh about 2 pounds more afterwards, hmm, I'll check tomorrowmorning how much exactly......
