How does TOM effect your weight?

mommyoftwins05

My TOM started today.. and I'm wondering does it effect you the whole time your on it.. or just towards the beginning? When does your weight go back to normal? I just want to know what to expect from the scale. My next weigh in is monday.

I got my 2 weeks ago. the first day i gained 4 lbs, i twas my weight in day. I didnt weigh in because that was just weird. the following day i was back down and so i lost 2 lbs for the week before. My next weight in the scale didnt move. and my next weight in is on Tuesday. Hopefully some movement on the scale is happening. I did however on the week on my TOM lose and inch all over and 1 inch on the waist. So measure yourself too. Just so you have more than one way to see improvement.

wow.. Yeah getting a sewing measuring tape when I go shopping.. so I'm thinking since my weigh in isn't till monday I should be ok.

I was heavier and it appeared that I didn't lose any inches on my waist when I had mine. Finally, in the last day or two of mine, I suddenly dropped 2 1/2 pounds and my clothes fit better. I was just bloated and retaining water, I guess...

I dont know how true this really is. But when its that time for me I avoid the scale. I actually try and stay on a very strict diet and exercise regimen. I do this bc you can maximize your weight loss during this time. However, you can actually gain a lot of weight simply bc for me i just dont feel like moving, and then the salty/sugary cravings really dont help either. But i would refrain for the whole duration to not even bother getting on the scale, prob. a couple days after that too. Cuz you may just be disappointed how you can gain 5 pounds in a day you know?

I gain 5-7 pounds during my TOM. I weighed myself a week before I started my cycle and it was at 119. Two days after my period, I weighed myself again and my scale said 126. XD

My trend has been water retention weight gain, usually to the tune of 2-5lbs. For me, it starts about 2 days before my period and lasts through the 2nd or 3rd day of my period (so 4-5 days total). And then it's gone again until the next month. Even though I weigh daily, I only update my weights every week or two, so I don't end up recording the transient increases.

I'm on TOM right now as well and I never weigh until about 3 days after TOM has ended, sometimes longer.

I know this might sound kind of funny but I tend to lose more weight when I'm on my TOM than when I'm off of it.
