So it been a week....my weight shot up 2.6 lbs right away, then 4 days later I was down 1.6, then shot back up to 1 lb 2 days later. I've been constipated for 3 days, and I'm starting to miss my old weight.

    I think almost everyone of us who is following EM2WL was or is feeling this way at some point of the game. It's normal and it's not fat it is water your body holds back.
