    Ladies I have a question

    Got kinda a personal question. I tried going to the "women" section but couln't post there. I am at "that time of the month" and have stalled now for three days. Is that normal? I have been doing what I am supposed to and drinking lots of water - even more than usual. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. My husband is doing awesome and I feel stuck - UGH! MEN!(Wish they could trade places just once-haha ). Thanks for the help!!

    Send a PM to Bren and she'll let you in the women's forum. In the meantime, yes, I've heard that TOM can mess things up a bit. Wait till it passes before you get frustrated. I've been "going through the change" for the past 8 years (?!) and I'll tell you, those womanly hormones can be blamed for lots of fluctuations. Don't worry about it.

      Some women retain water during their TOM. So, yes it's normal not to lose weight (ie: pounds) because you are retaining water. But follow Dr. ATkins' advise and not only weigh yourself but measure yourself----losing inches is a sign of weight loss (ie: fat loss) too.

          Not only don't I lose - I can gain like 5 pounds overnight very easy during that time

            I never weigh myself during TOM because usually the scale would be up a few pounds. i wait until a day or 2 after it's gone and that's usually when i see a change. don't get discouraged, it's totally normal! good luck!
