Thanks LGM for giving me some feedback with respect to your experiences! Would love to learn more. What kind of scale are you using? I find your results to be fascinating and so very different from what I experience. It’s hard to say if your scale is actually off or if it functions in a different manner from mine.

Interesting.

“If I measure my body water percent by bending over double to put my hands on my feet …” I actually stopped here for a moment and immediately ran to my scale to do such an experiment myself. I’m 20 pounds overweight at the moment, so according to other info in this article my scale is probably off, but these were my results:

standing straight up – BF 33.4, WW 48.6
Crouching, touching knees – BF 33.3, WW 48.6
Touching toes (surprised that I could!) – BF 33.2, WW 48.7

So it didn’t affect my water weight %, but interesting how the more closer/connected I got my entire body to the scale, the lower my fat was (my actual weight was exactly the same on each weigh-in as was my bone mass % at 6.7)
