Weight loss.

Update: since my last post I have lost another 17 pounds!

hmmmm 17 pounds in 39 days? That's about 4.7 pounds a week. The usual recommendations are 1 to 2 pounds lost per week, or 1% of your body weight per week if you're very overweight. I'm concerned that you're going too fast there.

oops 39 days is 5.6 weeks, so 17/5.6 = 3.0 pounds per week. A tad fast if you're below 300 pounds but maybe you're ok. Sorry for previous post.

The human bladder cannot hold one quart of urine. One quart of pure, distilled water weighs 32 oz / 2 lbs. Urine would weigh very slightly less.

You might lose 1/2 or even nearly 1 full pound after emptying a full bladder, but certainly not 2 pounds.

While the average person's bladder holds in the vicinity of a pint there are some people who can hold a quart or more, and a few do it often.

Well since that was posted almost 6 years ago perhaps humans have evolved since then to hold more?
That sounds painful at best.

anyone know of any good accountability groups that help with weight loss. need to lose another 30 - 50 lbs but have a lot of problems. I could always eat better as many could but for me they say i am not eating enough. I have tired to increase my caloric intake so that my body does not go into starvation mode. I have to many allergies and am recovering from injuries that have been difficult to come back from. Looking for some advise and accountability partners message me on kik, skype, telegram, or here. 47 male dad bod
