I have a better question. Why are you weighing yourself every 10 minutes?

Hi Michael,
Once you get up, the weight of the world starts settling in on your shoulders.

I weigh myself once a month, no more, no less.  I write it down.  I've never weighed myself again ten minutes later.

Good morning Michael. The only time I get on a scale is when I'm in my doctor's office, that will be today at 3:45, for my physical.

Weight is not that important, at least not in fine amounts like this, best to worry about other health indicators.

I only jump on a scale when I go to the doctor, always a pleasant surprise, at least in the past year it has been.

Not usually but I attribute it to the inaccuracy of the scale. Keep weighing and you might get the figure you want to see.

You can avoid that by not weighing yourself twice within 10 minutes.

One gallon of water weighs 8 pounds.  Half a liter is a pound.  A cup is probably closer to half a pound.  That's just in weight of liquid.  Add in any effects of the coffee/caffeine and it is possible to be up some.  It also depends, have you put on any additional clothes, taken any pills, absorbed water through washing, etc?

Get rid of the scale.  What is the number worth to you anyway?  Use your clothes as your guideline of gaining/losing weight.  The annul trip to the doc will give you a number, if you need to keep track.

I've been finding the reverse to be true lately, and I can't understand that! I weighed myself after my coffee and I weighed less.

So weird.

LOL.  I guess the 8oz coffee weighs 1/2 pound.  Not sure where the rest comes from.
