i go poop about once every two or three days.
though, of course, if i have something that really upsets my stomache, like mexican food, italian food...or starbucks, i always have diarraheaadkfjad(sp?) right after.
TMI, i know.

TMI, i know.
people are supposedly supposed to poop every day...!
Yeah, once every one or two days is 'staying regular'. Longer than that is unhealthy because the toxins can be reabsorbed back into your body. That's also one possible cause of acne too ...
I don't poop that often. But it changes depending on what I eat. Maybe 3 times a week?
^ same. actually i don't even know. 
this week, none. how crazy
isn't pooping more than twice a day considered unhealthy? i try to poop once a day or every two days.

What is regularity? It's not a medical concept, but more of a myth that you've got to move your bowels each day to be healthy. Experts say otherwise. In fact, as far back as 1909, the British physiologist Sir Arthur Hurst said it wasn't unusual to find healthy people who had a bowel movement three times a day or once every three days. Today, that's still the range that's considered "normal." But many perfectly healthy people don't even fall within this broad range. In 1813, the British physician William Heberden described a patient who "never went but once a month." He also described a patient who relieved himself 12 times a day. Both patients seemed perfectly content with their bowel habits.
The truth is that everyone experiences variations in how often they move their bowels. Menstruation, vigorous physical exercise, diet, travel, and stress can all cause temporary changes in bowel habits. Going a day without a bowel movement certainly shouldn't be considered constipation. And three movements in a day isn't necessarily diarrhea. More important than the number of bowel movements is the consistency of the stools as they pass, the effort needed to expel them, any associated symptoms, and changes in frequency.

this is what I found on the internet about it... lol
*thinks to herself* why did i look this up?
Usually about every other day or so but especially after I eat cheeeeeeeeeeeese.
With all that I eat?... lol a lot more than 7 times a week man. At least twice a day. Morning and night.
^^Yeah same here tama, about twice a day. I can't imagine how some of these people can go 1 or 2 times a week. They must have some extreme constipation or eat like birds.
Usually 3-4 times a week. But like many said before me, if I eat something that really upsets my stomach, I can go a lot more. Like just the other day, I don't remember what I ate, but I pooped six times in one day. That's how much it upset my tummy. :(
Don`t really count in a week, but supposedly if you don`t poop at least twice a day, you`re considered constipated. 
Imma start taking laxatives lol.
I try to everyday. My cousin makes time to sit on the toilet on specific times. I poop more during my menstral cycle, does anyone else get that? My counsler told me that once also.
I go about 1-2 times a week i think
I dont know...I never keep track

Haha. Since Ive been started eating better and running every day it has cut down. When I used to eat really badly and just sit on my ass all day it was a lot more.
.. Im currently in the process of a lifestyle change.

Sorry for the upcoming lecture but this is a definite health issue!
Going only once a week is very bad for you, medically speaking. It's known as chronic constipation. It predisposes you to colon cancer, esp with family history, and it's generally unhealthy to keep all that stuff inside. It can lead to other problems later in life like hemorrhoids, diverticulitus, rectal prolapse, impacted stool, etc.
What happens is basically, the more you hold it in the more you CAN hold, because your intestine stretches and the muscles become looser when you hold all that in. Then when you expel it, the muscles aren't used to working and the intestine is floppy and loose. The more you do it the worse it gets. By the time you are older you might be up to once every TWO or even three weeks. I know a woman who does that and she has an extremely bad gas problem and is not pleasant to be around for that reason, as well as other gastrointestinal issues.
Honestly I would recommend you to start taking a laxative to start having regular bowel movements maybe once every two or three days (might want to see a doctor or try other things first). Some people only need to go once every couple of days but a week is too long. Also you should see your doctor about this, and be aware of any family history of colon cancer. Try eating more fiber, drinking more water and getting more exercise -- all of these things speed the passage of stool through the bowels. You can google chronic constipation for more info.
Again.. sorry for the lecture.. but it should be a cause of concern for you!
