16X lbs it varies I think. Never weigh myself.

I lose weight unintentionally.
Have you grown a few inches? Thought you were a little guy.

oh man, I woke up with some anxiety and it was affecting my stomach. Then, I had some coffee and I think the milk was too old.

I didn't get sick and I am hanging in here at work sipping a soda.

I'm feeling a lot better. Phew, this was close to being a disaster at work. I hate being sick in the office (not that it happens much but you know what I mean?)

No big whoop. Just please post about it when it happens. It's just what the poop thread needs.

I was going through a brief period where I wasn't able to stop peeing and would get some on me when I thought I was finished.

I chalked it up to old age (early-mid 40s), but then I started concentrating more on it and it went away. I just practice more patience.

This should probably be in the pee thread, so if I have more to add, I'll do it there.

How much weight are you putting up though? For all we know you're wearing a trilby and curling 5 lbs in the corner.
