    for the ladies (TOM)

    :confused ok, there was a time a couple of days ago where I "cheated" so this week is starting on a fresh slate without cheating. the only problem is it's that TOM and I've heard that you shouldn't start during the TOM because it slows down the weight process. any ideas if this is true or not?

    I don't think it matters if you start before, during or after.. TOM messes with your weight loss regardless. I'll gain 3 lbs during TOM then lose them again after.

    I'd say start now.. deal with the cravings.. even though they could drive you crazy... but stick with it!

    You can do this!

      Try posting this in the Womens forum, you might get more responses.

      It never ceases to amaze me of how easy and how effective this ***diet*** is!!




      I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!

        in my experiance with any diet you might find you lose more weight when tom has gone as your body uses more energy for tom.

        hope that makes sense :icondance

        just dont eat more during tom :wave
        soon to be slim
