Ladies..during TOM do you...

nurseypoo5 · 01-21-2007, 05:25 PM

stop losing completely or gain?

It could be my binge today...omg i binged...i ate 3 atkins bars!!!! I'm glad i dont have any left, and thank god they dont have SA's in them any more lol..or i'd be sick as a dog.

but other than that i've been pretty clean lately but since TOM i've gained 2 lbs, and am still in deep ketosis. this bar episode was the only one i've had and it was a doosey...

im so ashamed LOL.

anyway....anyone else find that TOM is a wt loss killer.

I’m the complete opposite, I tend to lose during TOM. Only because I always get nauseous that time of the week. The week after TOM I get really hungry. I’m an odd ball I guess.

oh wow yup were opposite. The week (or if my hubbys really lucky, 2 weeks) before TOM im a real HAG, ******, WENCH..pick one. I also get oddly paranoid..like "am i gonna get fired from work", "did my husband drink today", "where is all my jewelry" and "whos talking about me"..its so wierd.

during TOM it is painful, and i crave sweets and junk, and have a horrible appetite...after TOM im an angel..my hubby gets to enjoy that for a whopping 10 days or so LOL.

I've started having hot flashes so maybe in 7 yrs or so it will be over hehehehe

When I did Weight Watchers five years ago, I'd always gain on TOM. On Atkins, I always lose. I'm exercising five days a week now, but at one point I wasn't and still lost on TOM. When I do low carb, the weight seems to melt off no matter what.

Thanks for making me laugh, Nurseypoo. I'm smack in the middle of TOM, and my experiences sound much like yours. I always have one good blow-up before I realize what's going on and start controlling myself better. It just feels like everyone is trying to make me crazy, like a conspiracy. And I just gained 3 pounds in three days, even though doing induction and seeing purple on my ketostix every day. It's truly driving me nuts. And tomorrow is weigh in day for my support group. I'm dreading it!

yup im still dark purple..and show a big gain...almost to pre induction wt

i mean in know that 3 bars were bad, but my gosh gimme a break!

I go to work tomorrow (first day back after 4 months eeeek) but the next day im doing a quick meat fast...hopefully i'll get back on track and dump my cravings again. maybe lose my dumb bar pounds lol.

damn that eve for biting the apple!

mermaid · 01-21-2007, 10:40 PM

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one with that problem! It's encouraging to see that you have lost 85 pounds overall and obviously kept it off. I don't mind going through this every month as long as the general trend is downward.

anj · 01-22-2007, 12:20 AM

I'm always up during TOM, but I think most of it is that I'm bloated. After TOM, I always have a good whoosie.

I have PMS right now and I want to eat everything around.

DEBI IN OHIO · 01-22-2007, 06:19 AM

GAIN......and that will probably happen next week! GRRRRR

HSAP_Mama · 01-22-2007, 06:42 AM

My weight can go up as much as 10lbs during TOM from bloat and whatever else goes on in there, but things normalize right after.

Sharon1 · 01-22-2007, 07:07 AM

The time before last I didn't even know it was coming because I had none of my usual symptoms: bloating, cramps, back ache...But then didn't lose, but I didn't gain either (surprise to me, I flucuate between like 5 and 7 pounds during that time!).

This last time though, OMG! I was doubled over whining like a two year old because of the cramps, bloating, etc...got on the scale against my better judgement and was up 5 pounds.

And *it* went away and was back four days later...

Don't even get me started on Eve this month!

I'm stalled right now getting close to TOM. So yea... I'd say it has an effect!

Jessica · 01-22-2007, 08:50 AM

It has always made me gain in the past. After reinducting this time I have had TOM for the last 12 days and it was 2 weeks early. I stopped this morning and I should restart again Thursday. I only lost 1 pound last week. So I am hoping for a whoosh Sunday.

jax93 · 01-22-2007, 09:42 AM

It really hasn't seemed to make a whole lot of difference to me in the past.

I'm not sure this time, cuz I just restarted recently. I made sure to start taking Evening Primrose Oil again because that really helps me with cramps, cravings & mood swings. So far so good, cuz I'm getting close to "that time" and I got none of those!

Cinders411 · 02-03-2007, 05:59 PM

I stop losing completly - darn it!
