A question for all you atkins women??

[PrincessMo]

hi gang............I was wondering if your TOM effects your weight during atkins.........mine is a day or two away and for the past couple of days my weight has gone up a pound......i know lots of you don't like to weigh yourself everyday but i like to monitor my progress and flucuations everyday and it also keeps me motivated. but i was just curious if that could be it or if my body is just at a plateau point that will drop off in a few days???

thanks everyone.................Have A Disney Day!!!!

Yep...TOM does effect my losses or lack there of. This was the first month that I gained a few #s and then 4 days later was down and extra one. Usually I just gain and lose the same weight...its fustrating, but I guess that the price of being a Woman!!

I definately gain extra "water" bloat weight during my TOM. I also feel it. I just have a bloating, yucky blah feel to my body. I hate it, but I guess it is "the price we pay" for being a woman.

This is my third TOM on Atkins.... so far I"ve noticed that the week before I start slowly gaining a little... .5 lbs every couple of days... the day before I get it I'm usually up 1.5 to 2 lbs. Usually by the third or fourth day I've lost all the water weight and another lb seems to disappear with it! For me, the worst part is the hungry horrors I get right before. I've found that eating cheeseburgers (without the bread of course!) fills me up and gets rid of the cravings. Weird huh?

Good Luck!

I only weigh once a week, but I notice that right before and for the first couple of days of my period my hands are puffy from retained water. That's bound to affect your weight. This week is my TOM and I'll be happy if I maintain (though I'll be ecstatic if I lose even a little)!

thanks girls.........i'm glad to hear i'm not the only one who has weight gain or just having my weight be steady during that TOM. Mines actually not here yet, i expect it tomorrow so I can't wait for it to be over.........i want to lose a good chunk of weight before september 20th which is my uncle roy's wedding and I wanna look stellar........my final goal is my trip to WDW which I hope is the second week of December (depending on the finances).............well thanks again girls
