Am I the only one that seems to lose better during TOM? I didn't lose anything from July 1st - 10th. On July 11th I saw signs that TOM was about to hit. I started losing that day and have lost weight every day since. I went from 234.8 on 7/10 to 231.4 today. It is the BEST part of TOM in my opinion.

Be glad that you are different in this case!!

TOM seems to be my worst enemy right now. I was sleeved on 11th of Jan. My TOM is mostly around 25th. I will lose fabulosly during 1st two weeks of the month, then it will slow gradually and then come to a stand still close to atleast 10 - 15 days around TOM. It is so frustrating.

You do realize that 99% of the women reading this are silently cursing you, right?

What is TOM

Time of month

Oh okay

Yes, you're alone in this and I'm jealous! I had about a three pound GAIN every month around my cycle, with a week on either side where I'd usually stay within half a pound on the scale. Closer to mid-cycle (ovulation), I'd drop all of my weight for the month in one week.

Even in maintenance I see a gain around TOM. Be thankful. We never know how our hormones will affect us!

It's different for me every month. Most will tell you days 15-21 are awesome for weight loss because, if your hormones are working properly, and you get the testosterone burst -- you lose more. I slow down between days 24-03 the most, perhaps losing/gaining the same pound for a week. Then it kicks in again.

Nice word.. TOM.. lol never heard it before.. nice code ..lol

You are not alone, atleast from my part.

I now only really loose weight around my time of month, pretty much only loose then nowadays, but loose 4 kgs/8 pounds over a few days.
