when I was sick I ended up taking 4 immodium. I haven't had a bowel movement since then. That was Friday. My gain was .4, so could that be why? Sorry if it's TMI!

I don't know what immodium is or does, but not taking a bm for 3 days can definitely explain a .4 gain. I have taken some 2lb bm's before.. so just wait it out and weigh yourself again!0

That is a distinct probability. I mean, think about how much food you've eaten since then...0

Yep! In fact, when you do go....you will most likely see a weight loss! Eat some prunes!0

definatly could be the cause. If you haven't had a bm in the next 48hrs I'd consult a medical professional. It can be quite bad for you.0

It probably is a combination of no BM, reduced activity and reduced intake of water as well. You and all the girls that have replied are doing great by the way in your weight loss. I'm just starting out. I have 30 to 35 lbs to lose. Anyone willing to share what program you are following? I can use some suggestions. Thanks0

Thanks everyone! I hate taking Immodium, but when EVERYTHING goes right through you, you have to do something.
As for a program, there is no program, unless you consider this website a program. I track everything I eat and track what I burn during exercise. For me, if I don't log my food, it won't work. Eat right, exercise daily (if you can) and relax. The weight will come off eventually!
Thanks again for all the replies!0
