[Toots]

Well done, everyone - some fantastic achievements

Well, due to various reasons (all my own fault) I have not reached January goal.

Not going to dwell - gonna cut my losses and get straight on with the february challenge.

xx

 

[Pheonix2010]

Toots 7lb a month is very respectable ,well done , Ive had a shocking month with one thing and another , so wont even reach 7lb I dont think , unless a miracle occurs

I will count my final weigh in as Feb 1st am

You lot are fab!!!

Good luck for the 1st feb

[BordersGirl]

My last WI is 1st Feb too Phoenix. I dare say that TOTM will still be sabotaging things for me but I live in hope

 

[stormywave]

Totm for me too, and have stayed the same so final wi for jan remains as wk3... Roll on feb x

 

[BordersGirl]

Flip, we must all be cursed with TOTM this week!

 

[stormywave]

I know, Grrr

 

[lastdiet4me]

not sure what to do here because i always weigh on a thursday but because this is the last day of jan i weighed and ive lost an extra 2lb since last thursday, i still didnt achieve my goal.. so anyway do i add this loss to this challenge or put it on the feb one? omg i sound a right saddo worrying where to put my weight loss..lol have a good day everyone xxxxx

 

[Pheonix2010]

I thought only women that live together TOTM together ha ha

Well Im still on TOTM but lost 1.6lb overnight so theres hope yet

My TOTM is definitely worse when Im on s and s , any reason for that ?

 

[Pheonix2010]

Lastdiet4me

I will be weighing myself tomorow morning, that will be my end weight for Jan and also my start weight for Feb

I dont do a weekly weigh in , i weigh daily so i guess that makes it more straightforward for me

I think if i weighed weekly i would not weigh on the last day of the month as well as that just confuses the issue

 

[GetSetGo]

I mentioned the TOTM coincidence a while ago, how we all seem to get it at the same time lol An S &S phenomenon lol

Well folks, scraped in there and delighted with that. As I am away for the next few days on a spa break, will not be able to post again till the weekend, no doubt with the inevitable weight gain that goes with holidays!
Nevertheless, looking forward to the February thread so that I can once again set a target.
Good luck to all in the weigh-ins tomorrow, look forward to reading how everyone gets on.

I noticed the same thing too Phoenix: TOTM's getting worse: heavier, erratic, longer, more painful

 

[BordersGirl]

Apparently oestrogen is stored in fat so as your fat stores deplete while you're dieting you release more oestrogen so you can start TOTM almost as soon as you start a VLCD. It's more prevalent on a VLCD as you're losing more fat.

It also affects people with implants and make them start TOTM whereas it may have been absent before. So all the Xmas restarters / starters might on on TOTM at the same time because of that .

 

[Pheonix2010]

well done Frannie for reaching your goal and you totally deserve a spa break , Im well jel !!

I take cerazette purely because my periods were so bad, painful and heavy to a life limiting point , and they used to either stop mt period altogether or diminish it massively , very little pain and very light

but they are definitely much worse when im s and s ing

 

[Cherry-Blossom]

I came off cerazette and started S&S at the same time and mine were horrendous. Don't know which it was due to though.

 

[GetSetGo]

I came off Cerazette too when I started S&S, you always get a bit of bleeding when you stop them, known as withdrawal bleeding and then sometime after that TOTM comes along. Taken about a month for me to get back to normal, played havoc with the weightloss but hoping things are settling down now.

 

[Pheonix2010]
