Anybody else LOSE weight during TOM? :huh: I've found myself really looking forward to it because the day it arrives - BAM - 2lbs gone, and then a heck of a lot more as the week goes on. Its really strange because I can not lose for 3 weeks, then the fourth week (TOM) I lose like crazy. Could this be a hormone thing? I so... I like it!! :bigsmile:

    I don't know- but that is the Cutest Baby Ever! Absolutely adorable!

    I tend to gain weight the week before and the first day then after that- flushes away in the night. It's the TOM Fairy. :laugh:

    :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Good for you! Looks like your early into your dieting though. That's when you lose the most and lots of water, so if it slows down in the coming days- DON"T get discouraged:wink: This is life change time and it is WORK:sick: But this MFP works also. Lots of encouragement to you. :drinker: :drinker: drink lots of H2O:flowerforyou: :smooched:

    i was really good in the beginning when watching cals/ eating VERY healthy and actually keeping a daily chart of wt, and as the months went by i noticed i would gain a little the week before and lose the week of, a pattern developed. also helped to eat CLEAN, and lower salt the week b4. remember our wt changes daily from hormones, salt, etc. TOM can be inconvenient, but kinda nice to have wt loss! keep at it!

    Lucky you!!! I'm always up a few at that time (no matter how much water I drink :drinker: ), but then back down when it's gone. :tongue:

    I think I read somewhere that your metabolism is slightly raised during that time.

    TOM Fairy LOL. My TOM Fairy Usually brings me chocolate and cookies and other assorted pastries I love her. I guess that is why I pack on a few lbs.
