Loosing weight in the shower..mystery solved!!

I know that a few of us have found that if we weigh before we get a shower and again after that we shed a pound or two when we get out of the shower. It prompted a lot of questions. I for one, like to research things and have a full understanding of everything so that's what I did. I wanted to know if it was a water weight thing from the steam or what that was causing the loss. Was it temporal or did the pounds go away for good. Here's what I found... The human body carries on average 2 pounds of dead skin cells. If you use an abrasive sponge like a loofa in the shower you will scrub off those cells causing a slight loss of weight! So how about that?? Thought you all would find that interesting. Dawn

2 POUNDS? That seems so gross to me. Nonetheless, very interesting. Thanks for the 411 Dawn.

That is so freakin' awesome! I just thought it had something to do with perking up the good ol metabolism while washing lol... I dunno, I'm a dork! Thanks Nancy Drew!

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW I just tried this this morning, and sure enough, I was 1.5lbs lighter after my shower. But I'll bet some of my loss was dog hair that sticks all over me.......boy is my dog shedding right now

That's a new one for me. I always weight myself right before I get into the shower. That's interesting Dawn. Karen S.

That's great news to hear! I think I'll base my weight now AFTER I get out of the shower!! HAHAHAHA!!!!! Susan

I'm gonna get a new loofah! And great new pic by the way! April

Thanks April! Long time no see...missed ya. Dawn

I've got to try that...unbelievable!

I might have to try that! I always weigh right before I take a shower and I would think I would weigh more after the shower because my hair would be wet and the water weighs quite a bit. But heck, I'll try it! Lisa S. 227/153/140 5'6.5"
