I still managed to lose a pound! Drinking the water, eating fiber, fiber and fiber, but still no BM (4 days!!).
How does one lose a pound and be constipated at the same time? Did I mention I'm eating fiber?

walking always gets things "moving" for me. Congratulations on the loss!

Spinach (the frozen, chopped kind) used in any recipe works for me.

Good luck!

When you say you're consuming a lot of fiber, do you mean vegetables or fiber supplements?

Most often, lots of water works for me.

Here's a tip from my old yoga teacher - FWIW.

Firmly massage your left side from waist to the top of the leg with long downward strokes. Put the heel of your hand just above and a little to the left of your belly button and stroke downward. It seems to help; especially when done while taking a relaxing bath.

Another tip from my old yoga teacher:

Leaning forward slightly (braced with hands on a wall - bent slightly at the hips), rapidly pull your lower belly in and push it out several times - almost like pumping.

Reached goal in Aug. 2003 - 4rd year of maintenance.

Thanks for the yoga tips! I'll have to try them!

I've been consuming flaxmeal w/psyllium husks, vegetables (salads galore, broccoli, celery) and drinking a gallon of water a day. Today I cut out the cheese, cuz I'm thinkin' maybe that's the culprit.

Did an hour of swimming aerobics last night, and even THAT didn't help!
