    feels like 10, but its water and usually its 2-5 for me. goes away right after. esp if you drink alot of water.
  • I was wondering that too! It's my TOM and I weighed in today and only lost 0.2 and was disapointed. Maybe that is why. Hmm..

    I usually have 2 weeks where I appear to lose nothing, followed by 2 weeks when the scale tells me I lose 2-4 lb. I don't do anything differently in my diet or exercise, I'm very consistent. So my conclusion is that TOM makes it *look* like the scale is sitting still for a couple of weeks, when it's really not. To avoid getting discouraged, I judge my success by my average monthly loss rather than my weekly weigh-in.

    I can a good 8 pounds right before and during my TOM. Once its almost done, I'm back at my original weight.

    I have decide to weigh once every couple of months. And I weigh exactly 2 weeks after my cycle. But before when I weighed weekly, I noticed I would gain 5 to 10 pounds the week of my cycle. I would take diuretics to get rid of the excess water. I know it isn't good, but I did it.

    I'm too fat now to even notice TOM, but it used to be 2-5 pounds like clockwork. I've never seen this abbreviation before, by the way, I like it! I would wish for TOM to go away and not come back, but I don't think I'm quite in the mood to start menopause yet, so I guess it's okay.
  • Usually about 2 pounds. I get really poochy and don't like it.
