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.0

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. Q0

I like what she said too.0 -
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.0

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.0 -
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!0

^THIS. Just step away from the scale. Seriously. Hide it if you have to. Scales during TOM are off-limits for me.0 -
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.....0

Coffee is what I do - the stronger, the better!!! Good luck - hang in there!!!0
