    I'm pretty sure this last night, absorbed any whoosh that would be forthcoming!

    For me it's the week after the end of my period. I lost 3-5 pounds in 5 days every time... then stopped losing until the next period.

    Even now that I've been maintaining for a year, I gain a couple pounds when I ovulate (I have massive ovarian cysts, that might account for it), then lose them again the week after my period. But when I skip a period, I keep the extra couple pounds.

    Your cysts aren't going to be that big! You'd get torsion injuries on your ovaries if they were, like someone on too much Clomid.

    I keep thinking that the scale is being mean to me, and I can't trust it and it will go back up tomorrow. I wonder if my 5 lb drop overnight is still there? Hmm...okay off to check...

    I held steady for two weeks then had a 3 lb drop over the next few days. I almost gave up and I am so glad I didnt!

    I get the whoosh every 2-3 weeks, ranging from 1-5 lbs, typically 3-4 lbs. The drop happens over the course of several days. It's been this way for about a year. The longer the plateau (so-to-speak), the bigger the whoosh.

    And agreeing with @Francl27 , suddenly having to pee A LOT and a lot more often is a good sign a whoosh is right around the corner.

    I get this. Usually my fat gets melty looking, then I'll drop to a strange low number, then back up a pound and even out. It can take me weeks and weeks to lose anything on the scale.

    I'm hoping for a big drop in the next week or so.

    But absolutely do not google whoosh fairy, especially image search. Cannot be unseen.

    Sheer curiosity makes me want to google that instantly, however I'm scared

    A double dose of prescription movicol aids any stalls for me!

    I've been logging for 80 days and fluctuating between the same five pounds. I've been doing resistance training and told myself that the scale was not going to be my friend but I was still concerned. Whoosh, those five pounds were gone in two days this week and they've stayed off. I'm still going up slightly after a workout, but I'm staying around that lower mark. I fit into size smaller jeans and shirts this week. My belt is almost three inches smaller too. At 6 lbs total lost, I'm right at the average of .5/week I should be for the amount I need to lose. It just waited to go all at once.

    Great news! Weight training requires a whole new kind of patience with the scale. But from what I see in people's pictures, it is the best way toward body transformation!

    I ALWAYS gained 2Lbs when I ovulated. I assumed it was just hormones, like before ToM.

    I love that you all understand patiently awaiting the "drop." Now I have a new mental image for it: "patiently awaiting the whoosh fairy." LOVE IT! (Alas, I am also waiting right now...when will she arrive?)

    I guess mine came over the weekend, about 2 lbs off since Saturday. I set up a hidden camera and caught a picture of mine. Somehow not so sparkly. :-/
