Question for the Women out there!

I'm not super young (26 yrs old) but seeing as I have finally gotten serious about losing weight I had a few questions about TOM and my weight loss goals.

We have seen threads on here about the cravings and whatnot and I usually have a good handle on those but my question is how is just it being TOM will it affect the scale? Is it possible that TOM will cause me to be heavier on the scale during that week and then I'll see a drop?

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed trends...

Is it possible that TOM will cause me to be heavier on the scale during that week and then I'll see a drop?

Yep! Just make sure to drink a ton of water, because it's likely just bloating and water retention. I also choose not to log if I gain during TOM, because I know it will come off after.

Probably. I water retain massively before and during TOM. I always get really depressed and think I am fat and disgusting, then it starts, and I think "oh, THAT'S the problem!".

Thanks! Sometimes I think I'm just losing my mind
