    Because it affects our weight loss or gain and affects our mood and how we feel physically and makes it that much harder to work out.

    Ok, so I'm dumb and kept thinking what the hell, everyone has a friend named TOM in town for the week??

    Seriously!? I'm all about sharing and helping motivate each other and I know that tom affects weight loss at that point in time, but who the hell really wants to know that this is your week for tom to visit!!! I for one DON'T want to know!

    You're so right. I also find that the best way to get people to stop mentioning something is to make a topic about it. Way to go!

    For the record, Tom's visiting me next week.


    damnit so close to syncing up my just ended this week . just glaad some of my bloating is over with .

    Men have wet dreams, doesn't mean I want to hear about it. I agree. TOM is TMI. When I get my period, I dont go telling the world. By the way guys, I've gained 2 lbs in 2 days because I'm retaining water, and my ovaries are about to produce an egg.

    Really? I don't think any one cares about my body that much except for me.

    Edit: ha ha ha, and yes, I realize I have just participated in this nonsense. I'll go shut up now...

    Most TOM-related topics I've seen only discuss water weight and things like that. Nothing "gross", nothing obscene.

    It's not like people are making topics going, "MAN, I PASSED THE HUGEST CLOT LAST NIGHT, HERE'S SOME PICTURES I TOOK AS EVIDENCE, LET'S COMPARE!"

    Never bothered me, but then I have a daughter that is an OB/GYN. Heard it all through med school, residency and so on. It's life. It's natural.

    And I repeat: If it bothers you, don't read the threads.

    Really? Maybe you should start a new site called MyFitnessForeverAlone.

    Seriously people. Periods really really do effect your weight loss, your appetite, your mood, your motivation, and your physical ability. What's wrong with discussing it on a fitness site?

    Well if we can comfortably talk about sensitive topics such as one night stands or sexuality then why not the simple normal thing such as TOM. Honestly when I was new to MFP I even didn't understand that because I'm not used to using initials & also that whole phrase is new to me. Geez we are all grown-ups here & not everyone can understand English perfectly & more so the American English so what's the big deal?
