  • I hate the scale today

    so I was able t see the 220 a couple of days ago and than I been fluctuating 1-3lbs but I am in TOM... why is it that you gain weight when is TOM? I hate it.... it is discouraging as I have not cheated not gone over my cheeses, not gone over my veggies in fact I think I can add more veggies.. drinking TOOOOONS of water and still not loosing.. I was tempted to cheat yesterday but stopped myself... I just want to loose! Ughhh!

        I'm with you on TOM water retention; I'm like a camel in the Sierra Dessert every month. When we're in the TOM mode during Induction it plays mean tricks on us. Hang in there!!!

        Pssst.....put the scale away until after Induction

              Loana, maybe you should consider posting your menu for a day so that everyone can take a peak and see if they have any suggestions to offer.

              My big problem is WATER. So chug away girls

                Just remember with TOM you may have a gain, but afterwards the Whooshie Fairy comes for a visit. I lost four new pounds after TOM! Yeah!!

                  YA TOM is such an evil little thing I am a major gainer at TOM seriously 4 pounds I would be happy with my gain is anywhere from 8-16 lbs Yes that's right 16 lbs, it all comes down to hormones and when you are having your TOM your homone Progesterone is up and as you ahve your TOM it drops and then BOOM day 4 or so of tom you ahve a nice WHooshie. The scale suck. The worst time to weigh of any time. My measurements go up and everything. I am not weighing right now and OHHH so much happier that I am not.

                    I have been reading about alot of ya'll doing this. I might be able to do it at home (maybe, whole family is following Atkins, they may have me removed), but at work, which is in a doctor's office? It is more tempatation than I can take. And not real sure why I do it. I have only been going for 7 months and have stalls for about 3 weeks at a time. I wish I could "get off the scales".

                        Hey Loana ~ I am just like you - i don't really cook very complicated foods and am very happy with simple, easy things, even if that is deemed "boring" by others - i am fine with it! From looking at your menu, i think you are like me, and not getting enough veggies in, especially throughout the day. I need to work on that. But that could be part of it... i don't know!
