The effects of TOTM - MiniMins.com

Sammi N · 25th June, 2009

Hi minis, just wondered whether your totm has hindered your loss or whether you have bloated more than usual. I'm asking because this is my first totm since starting cd. I had just finshed when i started so never noticed any diff to losses. I am currently feeling bloated and my jeans are annoying me, my 18s are way too big but my new 16's are snug ( i have other 16 bottoms that fit nicely norm so wondered whether this factor is due to totm.

I am going up to London to spend time with alot of friends at a gathering and i wanted to turn up feeling confident and proud of my new shape that is forming. If anything im dreading it at mo cos i feel like a blob. I have still been drinking plenty of water and average on 4 ltrs a day. My weigh in is in the morning to and we are leaving straight after, im dreading getting a poor result and dont want to be on a dampener for the weekend. Any advice would be appreciated

Hey Sammi,
Just wanted to say the only way I have been effected this month is by not having one at all.......... Hmmmm..

Other than that I have felt bloated but I have always lost still around that time.... Carry on drinking plenty of water hon, if for any reason you dont have such a great weight loss this week it will definately come off next week.. as our bodies all work differently and some people hold alot of water around this time. .
Your doing great and have a fab time with your friends I am sure they will think you look fab xx

hi Sam

I'm opp as with Curly, My TOTM was 28 days solid and yes, this did have an affect. CD does play your TOTM's up a little, but still had a loss, but once I'd fin'd my loss was better. I would think that if you have a TOTM, like with any other time, it would affect you. xx
