TOM weight loss?

[quotidianlight]

So it's my second week of induction and bam, two days ago the weight stopped dropping off then my TOM hit. I am HUGE!!!!! So my question is... since I have been good and fought the cravings and stuck to my induction will I get a woosh of weight loss once it's over (am I still losing and just can't see it) or is it more like weight loss stops for the week and you just start from wear you left off?

It is really one of those ymmv (your mileage may vary) things, but many members find the excess TOM weight drops right off after a few days - sometimes taking a few extra pounds with it.

That's what I am hoping for. Logically it seems it would work that way if it's just water weight and you don't go on a TOM binge. It seems like you would still lose and then when the water weight came off you would see your actual loss. But bodies don't understand logic so I'm worried about losing a week of loss

I'm going to be on my TOM during my second week. I'm dreading it, but I think if I can stick to plan, I'll come out just fine! I do tend to eat more than normal though, so looks like it's gonna be celery sticks and cucumber chips for me!

If you get the sugar cravings look under the recipe section for induction friendly desserts - was such a life saver for me. Funny enough I didn't bloat as much as I normally do and therefore did not get the water weight problem. Hoping TOM is kind to you

Re: TOM weight loss?

I thought this was going to be someone thats a freak like me and losing weight during their TOM. I lose more weight that week than any other. I have no idea why. But I have horrid TOM's so maybe I just feel too bleh to eat? I dunno but other weeks I barely lose. It's the ONLY reason I look forward to my TOM.


lmao at the redneck motorcycle, Kristi.

Man I am so jealous. I have never been this bloated before. I think the new meat intake (ex-veggie) and sodium from cheese made me into the stay soft marshmallow man!

You metabolism goes use during TOM so that makes sense if you don't eat more to make up for it, give in to the typical cravings or retain water. From now on I am going to stop all cheese and salt that week or just drink 2 gallons of water because this is frustrating.

Re: TOM weight loss?

Two days into TOM I always drop a few pounds. It makes up for the stall the week before.

Re: TOM weight loss?

i lost a bit when TOM started at the beginning of this week and now i gained that back and something extra lol.
since this is how my body works all the time, i dont think i'll drop much when its over..things are just soooo slow now
everybody is different indeed.

Re: TOM weight loss?

Hello,
Hopeful make a good point.
Women burn more calories in the month during the week before they start their period. So it's not a fluke. I always take full advantage during this week and stay on plan rigidly by fight cravings with my L-Glutamine, get my exercise in and and always get my water in. After TOM leaves I most usually have a visit from the Whooshie Fairy.

Re: TOM weight loss?

Well, I'll be. I hadn't weighed myself since I out bloated my pants and today I was going through my weight logs and found an online version of the program I use. But that means I have to weigh every day so I took a deep breath, stepped on the scale, and prayed. When I opened my eyes... OVER 2 MORE POUNDS LOST!!!! So, it is just water weight *sighs of relief*

Re: TOM weight loss?

I usually stop losing the week before, a good sign TOM is coming, then I loose as usual or sometimes a bit slower during TOM and then after its gone, Whoosh! Sometimes 3 or more lbs gone all at once it seems.

Re: TOM weight loss?

I did the same exact thing. my 2nd week in TOM came. I gained up 4 lbs. Then after a couple days it started coming back off. 2 days after TOM I had taken that 4 lbs off plus 2 more lbs. So keep with it! Drink lots of water
