    If you're having regular BMs, the average BM weights about 0.8 oz. So roughly, that's half a lb of loss.

    How is an eight of an oz. equal half a pound?

    0.8 =/= 1/8th

    I'm sick and barely functional. Sorry. That's my excuse! I meant 8 ounces :p

    I eat while pooping. It's kind of like eating back your exercise calories.


    LMAO!!!!!

    Poop is a funny topic, but chronic constipation is actually pretty serious. It really can kill you. "Normal" is 1-2 bowel movements a day. At the very least, you should be pooping every 3 days. Though since you're taking a huge dump when you do go, you're probably okay (more worrisome if you're only going once a week and it's just a small amount). I have a family member like that, she only craps once a week but it's a 30 minute event and apparently it's massive (I'll take her word for it).

    Still, you should be drinking plenty of water, getting regular exercise, and eating plenty of fruits and veggies. I know you said you've tried eating fruits and veggies before, but how long did you do it? I mean, if you eat a handful of carrots for a few days, that's not going to help. You need a high amount of natural fiber for a more significant period of time to see results. I normally eat a lot of vegetables and drinks tons of water, and you could set a clock by my bowel movements. LOL

    That's hard to believe. There are babies that are born that weigh only 6 or 7 pounds. That is nearly half a baby coming out of your rectum. I would get it checked out because it is not healthy to go once per week. I normally lose from .4 to .8 lbs of weight after going.

    I would be curious to know what your daily diet consists of? How many calories you consume each day?

    well i eat about the same thing everyday

    for breakfast i have a frozen breakfast biscuit thing with bacon egg and cheese and vitamin water with miralax and benefiber in it

    lunch: turkey sandwich and some chips and maybe half of a can of pop

    dinner: today all i had was a piece of bread but usually chicken and rice or spaghetti---you know, real dinner lol

    thats about it

    Well that explains it!! Where are all your fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds, etc?

    They do have catchers that just sit over your toilet! That would be much easier than touching it :flowerforyou:
