There seems to be some confusion about what "normal" and "regular" mean.

Without getting into the weeds about doctors and personal health- if you would like- share with the class how often you go.

On my other forum we have a NSFW thread- and discuss things and I think sometimes don't realize when they feel "not normal" like they are an outlier- and we have these types of discussions- people realize what the scope of "normal" really is- so I felt like it might be useful to share the range of what "normal is"- also I'm super bored at work. Sorry not sorry.

Every two days also doesn't mean twice a week- just to be clear.

Twice a week would be like "Tuesday and Thursday"
Every two days would be a syncopated schedule- so Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday,Tuesday, Thursday- etc etc.


and GO

    Every 2-3 days is normal for me. And yes, #teamworkpoop.

    don't be fooled- it gets pretty exciting here too. But yes- same person- same profile- I'm boring- not really- I just like to be consistent ;)
    AH YUCK YUCK YUCK- I'm so punny.

    I am no longer on WW though- I got booted with the new regime change. Shrug- it's pretty awful now so I don't care.

    I go at least once a day. Many days I go once at work and once at home.

    Yesterday I dumped 3 separate loads.

    Not gon' lie, if I don't get my 3 square poops a day, I start to worry.

    I'm almost impressed with 3 a day-ers- like I don't even know how you can eat that much food to poop that much- do you all ever get like epic deuces? I feel like people who poop that often probably have smaller poops? I don't know- I'm like impressed.

    I generally go once a day at the same general time of day, like clockwork.

    Oh yeah. Didn't poop two days ago, only one poop yesterday. But I felt like the weight of the world had been lifted off my shoulders.

    I don't eat a whole lot of meat, so I think that's a big part of it. I bulk made a stew this weekend, so there's been a lot more red meat in my diet than I'm used to - I think that this is causing the constipation. I know a day with no poop isn't an issue for most people but I was literally LATE FOR WORK yesterday because.... well, things weren't moving at their usual hour.

    Typically once every other day, with an occasional 2 days in a row.

    Usually once a day, sometimes twice.

    Morning coffee always does the trick. Afternoon coffee sometimes does.

    I'm pretty regular and will poop at least once a day. Maybe more often. I don't think it is epic amounts. I haven't charted it out.
    I don't eat super high fiber but drink plenty of water and don't eat a very low fat diet. I am rarely constipated.

    It is 11:14 AM and I have not pooped yet today. After lunch bathroom visit is normal.

    6 AM every morning...I was in Tanzania over the holidays, and the first 3-4 days sucked because 6 AM at home is 4 in the afternoon there and we would be out in the jeep on safari with nowhere to go and you can't just get out of the jeep in the middle of the Serengeti lest you be eaten by lions or cheetah...

    but it could have made pooping an adventure!
