I may be missing something, but isn't that normal???2 -
For some women missing a period for a month is normal, but not for me. I have a period every month like clockwork until I get to over 300 poundsDeterminedbyGod wrote: »Thanks for the input.

I took it the way you did Elphie, then had to re-read. I think she meant she skipped a month.0 -
In that case (you are reading our posts), answering this question is important to helping you:JeromeBarry1 wrote: »@DeterminedbyGod I have a question. You said you eat 1900-2000 calories per day. Then you said, "I also snack a lot during the day." My question is, Do you accurately and truthfully record your lots of snacks in that range of calories which is between 1900 and 2000? I only ask because of that 4-letter word "also".

What about everyone asking you if you log your snack calories too or if you eat 1900 to 2000 calories but then ALSO have untracked snacks? You already mentioned a cheat meal... those untracked snacks and cheat meals can really add up and cancel out your deficit so that no weight loss will happen.2 -

Okay, glad I'm not the only one. I was like-I know im pregnant and sick and haven't slept in 2 days, but I'm pretty sure that is how the female anatomy still works lol.

Just log your food, track your calories and be patient.
It just seems weird to jump back to 320 after reading 317 a few seconds ago
The scale is on a hard surface, right? And the battery is new?0 -

How many calories a day do you eat?
OP just needs to poop!
I am constipated and can't!
Get some Miralax, mix it with whatever it is tasteless and if the constipation is an on going issue drink miralax 1-2 times per week. This helps if you are on a high protein diet.0 -

@DeterminedbyGod we're still wondering if your snacking and cheat meal(s) are included in that 1900 to 2000 calories.3 -
She should also open her food diary, when seeking such input.kshama2001 wrote: »courtneyfabulous wrote: »DeterminedbyGod wrote: »Hi you all I am reading your posts and will be taken the advice not to weigh myself constantly

One last time.
Are these snacks included in the 1900 calories you say you eat, or are they over and above the 1900 calories? Do you log your snacks or not.
Can you open your diary?3 -

doesnt matter if the snacks are healthy or not,. do you count them in your calories?4 -

I finally pooped yesterday by doing the saltwater flush. I went from 320 to 317. Then I went back on the scale shortly after seeing the 317 and my weight went back up to 320. Not sure what is going on! I had a cheat meal yesterday and after pooping this morning I am at 321. I thought maybe I will see 318 or 319. Not sure what is going on with my body.
Please, please, please do not do that saltwater flush ever again. It really screws around with the body's natural electrolyte balance so it's quite dangerous.
You ingested a ton of salt... that is why you went back up on the scale.
If you need to poop, drink enough water so that your urine is straw coloured, eat 25g of finer (if you're not close, slowly build up to 25g), eat at least 30g of fat per day and place a heat pad on your abdomen. Abdominal massage helps, too.
Pick up some miralax as it encourages water into the colon to help with constipation. Long warm Epsom salt baths help as well. Walking, too.
No more nasty salt flushes!4 -
Hope things are moving normally again. Just wanted to add my 2 cents worth. When you do a liquid diet alot of the waste in your system gets moved out and you lose water. When you start eating again it takes a day or two for your bowels to fill up and start moving. Couple that with your PMS and voila you have a weight gain. Having said that though the fact that you get a weight that varies within seconds by 3 pounds makes me suspect your scale isn't accurate or if it may need new batteries. I have also noticed at times mine gets a little piece of fluff or something under one foot and that throws it off. Make sure to clean off the feet if none of the other ideas helps. Hang in there kiddo you can do it. You need to be patient tho. It is tempting to weigh constantly but it will only frustrate you.0

I am appalled by the salt water flush. If you mess with this or use a bad recipe it could be seriously dangerous! I second @cerise_noir - Do Not Do This. Drinking salt water is not recommended.
If you want to tackle constipation, just drink normal water! Seriously, salt does nothing beneficial here, but increasing hydration can solve constipation almost immediately - I've seen it happen in children, I've done it myself, it works. Not in every case, but often.4 -
