Oh No, question about TOM weight gain

[2angelsinheaven]

I have lost 30+ pounds since 1/4/04, 32 to be exact, well tonight I started TOM and noticed I had gained 3.5 pounds since yesterday is this normal? Is all of the 3.5 from TOM? If so does it go "away" after TOM or does it take a few days? I go for my weigh in next week... would hate for Tom to have messed that up...lol

It's almost certainly all TOM-related water weight and after the first few days of TOM it should disappear. You can help it along by drinking your water, but time will take care of it.

First let me say congratulations on your loss to date, that is wonderful.

Now to answer your question, it is more than likely due to TOM. At that time I always see an increase of 1-3 pounds and then by the following week I usually see the loss. If you have stayed on program I wouldn't worry about it and just wait until next week and it should be gone.

I hear ya!!!!

I'm up 2.5 pounds this week. I know once TOM arrives (any second now) at LEAST 2 if not all of it will be gone!

Don't get discouraged, just keep working your plan. Look how far you've come! That's a great accomplishment!

TOM hits me with about a 2-2.5lb. gain, and it's usually gone by the 3rd day of my 5 day cycle. Stick to your program and continue to drink your water. You're doing JUST GREAT (30 pounds--WOO HOO!!!), so don't you get discouraged! Keep up your AWESOME work!!!

I won't weigh this week or next because of TOM. Don't feel like dealing with the dissapointment!!!

You're doing great. It's that mean old bloat fairy that sneaks around with TOM. It's fluid and you will lose it soon.

I have gained as much as 12 pounds of fluid over night, back before menopause. It's frustrating but it isn't true weight gain.
