I am finishing Level 2 of the 30DS tonight!!! YAY me!!! But I got my TOM on Friday and since them I've been totally constipated. I weighed myself today and I'm 3 lbs heavier than Friday!!! WTF?!?! I was under my calories this weekend and even though I feel like I'm as heavy as a whale am still doing my 30DS.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to *ahem* clean myself out. If nothing happens today I'm getting a little pill to help out!!!

    Women gain weight during/before their period. It happens. Don't freak out and don't resort to a pill. Just don't weigh yourself this week.

    I use a daily probiotic. Sometimes it's just the changes we're making. Make sure your staying suuuuper hydrated too! Good luck!

    Fiber and green tea with lemon. Eat fiber one for breakfast, apples with peanut butter for a snack and have lunch and dinner with protein and lots of veggies. Q

    It seems like a lot of people have this problem. I know that I do. I have just started adding 2 tbs of ground flax seed twice a day. I put it in protein shakes or yogurt and it really seems to be helping. I hope that this helps.

    Hello
    Try adding Benefibre Shape to your diet as it's clear & taste free. It also helps your metabolise fats and gives a vitamin supplement and of course it keeps everything moving.

    Water and don't worry about your weight while TOM is here! Just keep eating healthy/under your calorie goal and keep up the exercise! Once you're back to normal for the next 3 weeks you'll see a difference!

    ^THIS. Just step away from the scale. Seriously. Hide it if you have to. Scales during TOM are off-limits for me.

    Psyllium husks work for me! Just a tsp or half tsp (depends on how I'm feeling) in about 8 oz of water & drink it down. Can also be put in juice. Good luck!

    lots of water and natural fiber. beans/apples/etc. But really lots of water. IDK why but lots of water keeps it moving and not in a gross way.....
