letsdothis!!!

Thanks guys for your suggestions, I wrote them all down! I ended up going the other day, I took 3 dulcolax every night for 3 nights...but it got the job done and I finally felt so much better. Just don't want to become laxative dependent so i am def. going to try these. PS-squatty potty?? That is hilarious, i have never heard of that, I am going to google it. Lord knows I could use all the help I can in the br...

Thank you:) & I really do hope they fly off:)

Well here is update number 2 out of HOPEFULLY 5...I am updating my experience every 20 pounds and I honestly didn't think it would be at WEEK 20 before I got to 40 pounds. Yes i am VERRRRYYY happy that that 40 pounds is long gone BUT i am creeping up on that 6 month mark. I really hope the slow down doesn't kick because I am already going very sllllooowwww, pretty much this whole time I have been. I really think that it has to do with my hormones tho (PCOS). I am working out, doing my Protein, and drinking my Water, there's not too much more I can do really-maybe up my workouts some more but that is going to be really hard for me to do.... I did have a 6 week stall that I just came out of and that was no fun at all:/ I also think that had something to do with my SEVERE BACKUP LOL! I was using suppositories, Fiber, prune juice, smooth move, you name it and nothing was working. I Took dulcolax 3 nights in a row and finally it all came out....sorry if tmi. I instantly lost 3 pounds of waste...grosssss but I felt so much better. I have had no problems the whole time pain or eating wise though, I can eat whatever I want and have no problem, sometimes beef gives me a bloaty feeling but most of the time it is ok as long as I go slow. I will update my headless picture as soon as someone comes home to take it lol:P BTW I am a size 14 now, 5'4 and 188 pounds as of today!

I am backed up! Have taken stool softener pills, mirlax, fiber, fiber gummy, laxative tea, prune juice, enemas, n suppositories and haven't had a good movement in about a month...not in pain, a little comes out but not a lot. Just lots of gas!! Lots! Also haven't lost any weight n a month, am around 20 weeks out? What to do???? N think no weight loss because backed up?

I felt like this too! Even on purees, it wasn't until solids that I felt the restriction. I was feeling so good I just knew they had only taken half of my stomach! I even got really upset-Don't worry just be glad your doing so well!

Our Walmart sells it, Kroger, gnc, vitamin shoppe, try looking there not hard to find. It doesn't work as good for me now as before, nothing really does:/

edamame is so good! and high in fiber but apparently still not fiber for me.... You know one thing I like to do is buy the frozen salad shrimp and then defrost some in a bowl of Water then eat them raw. Sounds weird but that's what i do when im too lazy to make something and hungry at the moment.

My periods are definitely more regular, not the very extremely heavy periods once every few months and I don't have painful cyst Any more or i should say as much. But my weight loss is extremely slow! I am 4 months out and have only lost 35 pounds

The tea used to work wonders for me. now I can drink 3 cups in 2 days and mostly only get stomach cramps....this constipation stuff is really bothering me

I am the same 25 with looong flat boobs and tummy. It is depressing sometimes :/

I get this sometimes if I get up too fast, I think for me its from the low Cal intake. When I was a teenager I use to do the starve yourself diet basically and I used to pass out and 1 time I passed out at work and it was so ebarrassing! and it can be dangerous! Watch yourself

July 3rd down 31

Started out 18 now 16 after 30# lost

BMI can definitely be misleading-for example my husbands BMI considers him overweight but he is all muscle and ripped lol. It doesn't account for muscle. But I am physically overweight and my bmi is quite accurate. My doctor has a scale that measures your lean body mass, fat, Water, etc. and I am or was about 44% body fat! So it really does vary on the person. But I would say if your BMI is THAT high(30-40), its probably not muscle. As far as weight, I needed to lose 98# to be considered a normal BMI and 113 to get to my personal goal weight.

You hit the nail on the head-just paranoid that I went through this for just a portion of the weight loss. But hoping your right and things will keep moving. BTW- you look really good, 42? More like 32!
