TOM question for women only please....

How long before Tom do you notice the scale not budging or even going up a 1 lb? What is your experience just before Tom?

Also, do you ever notice before starting that you get bouts of insomnia?

Hi Mariepk,
My weightloss stops cold about 9 days prior to TOM. Its discouraging but at least I can expect it now. Actually almost all of my losses for the month are the week after TOM.
As for insomnia...that doesn't happen for me but I have a 14 month old so that takes care of that problem!

Yes! I have been suffering from insomnia for 7 nights now and TOM started Wed night. I thought it was just me!

My weight went up 3 pounds overnight from Wed to Thurs but I'm not freaking out. Already a pound and half of that is gone this morning. Just water retention, I'm sure. I weigh everyday of TOM week just to track it and see how it goes. Then I hope that the whoosh fairy will visit right away!

Water is my best friend during this time to keep the bloating away.
