ladies? during the TOM..do you tend to loose less lbs?

zionjeannine

I think I have noticed a pattern of loosing less during the TOM, so I was wondering if other women have or are experiencing this? Is it just in my head? I am gonna press hard this week with eating well and working out...zumba is on the agenda for this evening, but there can be no other explanation since I was on the ball this past week with eating and working out. Just wondering...what do you think? :flowerforyou:

I sometimes GAIN during that week, just about a pound though, then the next week I lose at least that usually more, because it's just bloating.

Yes and munch more!

This absolutely happens to me!!! But it is all water weight because I know I eat salty foods for that week. I usually lose an extra pound the week after.

I gain btwn 2-3lbs of water weight which goes away as soon as it starts. Don't worry about it at that TOM - go easy on yourself for not losing more (or gaining a little) because it's natural to retain water.

I usually gain during the TOM...anywhere from 2-4 lbs...I think its mostly water weight though but not sure because I usually crave lots of salt and sugar....

I noticed that the scale didn't budge when I was on TOM, but as soon as it stopped, I started losing again at a decent rate. I don't mind if the scale stays the same, it hasn't gone up for me during it do far. I just make sure to drink extra water.

I look at that time like a bleep on your body's weight monitor machine. Since tracking my weight loss I have noticed this bleep every month. Its just my body's normal rthymn and I don't stress about it. Now, being older I also notice last month NO BLEEPING bleep....lol Im going into that other phase of life...menopause..oh JOY...um help (said meekly) Rebecca

omg mine is like three days away and my weigh in day is two days away! I'm so scared I'm gonna be dissapointed because I've gained as much as 7 during that TOM!!! It always drops off but it will suck for my weigh in!!

yeah during tom i usually gain a pound or two. nothing huge though. i get major cravings for chocolate and salty foods. i also get really thirsty for pop. that's the only part that sucks. i try really hard to drink water but when tom comes around it's pop like all the time. lol.:ohwell:
