Re: so sad

I stay far far far away from the scale during TOM. I don't like the scale very much as it is really not nice to me during TOM so I quit weighing during that time. Lol! Why not take some measurements so you get something more accurate to go from at the next weigh in day?

Re: so sad

I second that. I won't get on the scale till three or four days after TOM. Ugghh I hate it, but I know it will pass....and once TOM is over I'm back to normal...or below

{{{{shelly}}}} If that's not TOM standing with his foot on your scale while you're not looking, then smack my noggin and call me Mahetabel!

Re: so sad

Syrnett - LMOA - When I first stared lurking on this board I told my friend about it & I said I'm not signing up for that they go to a boot camp & this guy Tom goes to their house. She of course explained what TOM stood for & I later realized that it was a cyber boot camp, which is optional.

Re: so sad

((((((Shelly))))))) Hang in there. Do not allow a silly number on a scale to rule your day! Don't do it! That number is sooooo subjective and you know that or you wouldn't automatically be looking at TOM and suspecting it as the culprit, right? That's the logical you kicking in - so listen to it! Reactionary you is the one that's feeling icky about the number. Squash that part, go for a walk, keep your head up and your eyes on the prize, my friend. You not only CAN do this..you ARE doing this - and I'm proud of you for hanging in there!

HUGS!

Re: so sad

I don't weigh or measure during TOM because I not only retain water, I also bloat a bit.

So stay away from the scales during this time. It can serve only to demoralize you.

Thanks everyone. Not2late, ill have to remember that one to because when i retain water on the third day my hands hurt to just sqweeze them. So let me tell you what i think happened. I *think* no I *know* it was TOM. These past few days i had not been drinking alot of water to much running around. anyway....like it says in the link at the bottom of my post "Why they scale can lie", i like to read it when i cant figure out how i gaines do much in a few days and i have been doing good. well anyway....like it says if you dont drink your water your fat cells will retain *TRY* to retain it all if you dont drink more. Well i started drinking more water and it helped me out with TOM. Note to self *SELF YOU NEED TO NOT FORGET YOUR DAILY WATER*end note. Yep so i got on the scale today and its back at 178.4. Now to only be able to break threw that mark which seems like i have been at for a while. Between 176.2-178.4 i just cant move from there. but im not giving up. Sooner or later ill see that nasty scale at 175.1. Mabey if im extra good and keep up the water intake the wooshie fairy will come my way.
