Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Someone please to explain how I gained 4 lbs from 7:00 AM to 8 Pm last night and then lost almost 3 lbs over night?
Yeah, this is completely normal. Everybody's weight varies about 5 lbs throughout the day. That's why, if you're trying to keep track of weight, you should weigh yourself at the same time during the day. (and probably not every day!)

I think body weight fluctuates ~5lbs in a day, which is why folks tend to advise not weighing too often.

What causes the fluctuation? The amount of water in the body varies by that much? Food in the stomach? You weigh more if you have to go poo-poo?

You weigh more if you have to go poo-poo?
I have a vague memory from Back In The Day when I went to Weight Watchers that, when I went to a Saturday morning meeting, the weigh-in showed that I had *gained,* like, a quarter of a pound.
I went to the bathroom, the coffee did its thing, and I asked the woman if she'd weigh me again, and I was down by about a pound and a half. Which is both funny and disturbing.

I weigh myself twice a day and I have for at least 2 or three years. I usually weigh more in the evening by, at most, a pound and an half. Four pounds is a big fluctuation!
A study found when looking at the habits of thin people, that they do weigh themselves every day or every other. And when I was working on maintaining or losing weight that's actually what was recommended. I also know that when I am bad about eating right and I know I'm gonna gain I avoid the scale. Hence the daily weigh in.

Huh. I am a thin person and don't own a scale.

Chicken is also used for penis, as in choking the chicken.
So it could also mean, better wacking off than dealing with a real woman (and all the implied negatives therein).
