TOTM

[rebecca02uk]

Hi All,

Having read through a lot of posts, I have noticed that weight losses have tended to be lower (in most cases).

I am TOTM now, haven't noticed in the past bloating any more than usual so just wondered what people's opinions were?

Hope you are all well x

Well my periods are worse since CD... as in longer.. now 4 days used to be about 2 max and heavier!!! more painfull...but i dont care lol

Am no more bloated than pre CD also i dont really notice any gains or staying the same during this time but i do drink alot of water on CD usually 5 L's a day so that could help?

I dont get any bloating at all.... Had TOTM on first WI on Thirsday though.
Could effect WI sometimes, have notice most people see a drop in weight loss at this time but its no surprise really.

Everyone is different though hunni

Can't say that I really notice a difference. My weight loss tends to fluctuate wildly anyway (once I get going - I'm still on Day 6 at the mo ). Even sticking to SS 100%, I'll lose 5lbs one week, 2lbs the next, 1lb the next week and 6lbs the next, LOL. I'm used to how things go with me now. It still works out at around 12-14lbs a month.

I think that's what you have to keep in mind really. We're not machines. It should be as simple as energy in=energy out but for some reason it doesn't quite work like that on a week to week basis...

I guess we're all different but by the sound of things, I don't need to worry too much!!

Is there logic behind your smaller weight losses Suzie or is purely random fluctuation??

Strange how your periods are heavier...

not sure I will have that trouble as I am on the pill so fingers crossed will still be regular x

Well, TOTM for me too, I didn't realise it was coming up toTHAT time already! Don't feel bloated but def feel lousy, tired, grouchy, etc as I usually do. Mine started day after weigh day but I still lost 4lbs which is great for me as on all other diets even if I stick to it 100% I usually gain around 2-3lbs.

Yep heavier sorry to go into TMI but... could normally get away with about 4-5 tampons throughout whole period pre CD this time been going through bout 10/11 so i know they heavier lol

Also like the lady above up there my losses are very varied.... one week can be 2 pound another 5 pound with no reason generally
