dustin551 84 Posted July 23, 2013 Was thinking of this today. Get an empty two liter plastic bottle and fill it with Water. Take it to the sink and turn it over and squeeze. A bunch of water will come out quickly. Now stop squeezing and watch what happens. Water stops coming out and the bottle tries to regain its shape. Once it regains the shape, water will start coming out again. That's exactly what is happening when you have a stall. That's why you'll see the measuring tape change even if the scale isn't. Your body is just catching up and redistributing before it starts again. 10 SuNMooNStaRS816, Museum-Mama, TES and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
