TOM question?

nisha_mommy2one · 06-16-2005, 11:37 AM

Do we lose more weight before or after TOM? I'm on my TOM and was wondering about it. Thanks

love to lift · 06-16-2005, 11:43 AM

after usually. The temporary water weight usually takes me up 5 and then it goes once it is all over. Sometimes with a bit more.

Lisah25 · 06-16-2005, 11:43 AM

I usually lose it about 3 days after TOM starts.

Dreams · 06-16-2005, 11:47 AM

usually around my 4th or 5th day of TOM...I get a little woosh.

CARLINI · 06-16-2005, 11:50 AM

I'm weird. I don't lose anything for 2.5 weeks then when TOM starts the pounds start dropping and in the next 1.5 weeks I'll drop 8-10lbs if I've been good.

nisha_mommy2one · 06-16-2005, 11:54 AM

Thanks I guess I can look forward to a whoosh soon!

I was just noticing this myself... I lost some during TOM, then for 3 weeks nothing (up and down the same 3lbs) then down again 4-5 lbs. the next TOM... I am wondering if this is how it is going to go from now on... only having a whoosh durinng that time only? I am happy for the loss, but would like it to be more often!

Carlini- that's NOT weird - actually that's normal - if I can find the post I put up about "TOM" I'll post it here.

chezypuffs · 06-16-2005, 12:06 PM

Hey, now that the subject has been brought up, do any of you gain before TOM even starts? If so, how long before?
Thanks!

Women~TOM~ Interesting

forgot something
from the book

**There is a silver lining to this dark cloud. If premenstrual woman can stick to the plan and keep to their carbohydrate intake goals despite their increased hunger and sugar cravings, they will likely be rewarded with a splended little whoosh immeadiatly after starting their period.

Kayjwag, you are a godsend for posting that link! This totally explains a lot! I wish I had a little button on my belly that I could push that says 'Not ready for a baby, stop TOM'!

love to lift · 06-16-2005, 01:16 PM

I start to retain water about 2-3 days before. By the 4th day of it's all gone plus some when I'm eating cleanly. I'm looking forward to this weekend.

Kayjwag · 06-16-2005, 01:26 PM

Ever since I read the article I actually look forward to "TOM" now - because for 15 days I know I will be losing again~ the other 15 all I do is maintain my weight no matter what I do, except eat more-that would backfire

GeorgiaBride · 06-16-2005, 09:33 PM

I usually gain weight on TOM... but that's because I USUALLY pacify the ravenous hunger and cravings with l/c treats... This month, however, things are gonna be different!! I'm right on the edge of TOM, and I haven't made 'legal' treats whatsoever! .. maybe that is the source of my whoosh??

I often lose a couple of lbs when TOM starts. My weight loss really depends on my cycle.
