    At the risk of sounding stupid/naive, I've seen a few people use the term TOTM and I have no idea what it means...

    Feel free to laugh at me if its something obvious lol.

    TOTM is time of the month...when a woman has her period.

    It is mentioned a lot on here as it is often the cause of water retention which shows on the scales as temporary weight gain.
