Do you women notice weight gain or weight loss slowing at that TOM? Suprisingly Im still loosing (I think) its only been 2 days. Just wondering if like water weight would be in the way not showing my true losses right now.

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!

Re: female question...
My weightloss has always slowed down or even gone up a little but once TOM hits I drop plus some...
I'm envious that you still lose!

Re: female question...
That's a good point... I should stay off because growling "i hate you" to the scale when it's stuck and I know it's due to TOM doesn't do me any good... lol.. le sighs...Originally posted by jcapuletI just don't weigh myself during TOM...no point LOL.

Re: female question...
Water bloat, never a loss, and occasional water gain.
I stop checking my weight during TOM because it's too annoying. >.< It's getting to the point that a 1 lb difference is HUGE because it takes SO DARN LONG to see even a single lb loss, that the water bloat is drastic enough to tee me off. :P
