So I was doing sooo well! Almost met my second 10 lbs loss goal for the 7/4 challenge...then mother nature stepped in and decided that this month not only would I have my cycle but I would retain a crap load of water and pack on 13 lbs! SERIOUSLY! I know it is only water but my scale doesn't know the difference! Just soo irritating! I have been drinking water like a mad woman and not expelling near enough...even the lasik that the doctor has me on isn't helping!

Frustrating isnt it? Hang in there, you will start losing again soon!

Wow! That is maddening! I'm shocked that the Lasix isn't working- I hope you get relief ASAP!! Good luck!

it will come off soon enough. just keep smiling and dont stress yourself out over it. I always would drop about 8 pounds in the week after my tom for the first 5 months. good luck!

Yeah... it sucks. But you know what it is so move past it. I gain about 10 lbs once a month It sucks but at least I know it goes away!

I just had surgery on the 8th of June, and it's my tom now. I'm still losing weight but verrrry slowly. I used to put on about 10lbs a month and lose it the next week, so this is something new for me.

Well I have finally lost 3 of the 13 lbs I gained. Now to drop these other 10.
