Just Curious

  • I'm just wondering how many pounds do you see the scale go up during TOM?
    I'm all over the place!
  • I weighed myself 2 days ago and was up 2.2 lbs since the week before. When I checked again yesterday, the scale was down 1 lb. For me, it usually goes up somewhere between 2-3 lbs :/
  • I just stay away from the scale when it's TOM time! I've fluctuated by 1lb, once it was almost 4lbs! But it's not real weight, so I just drink tons of water and ban myself from the scale till it's over
  • I can change 2-5 pounds. So I try to stay away from the scale also. It's not real weight, but it can be so disheartening to see the scale jump so much.
  • Smart advice about staying away from the scale. I weigh myself every morning after waking and I felt so deflated this morning when I saw a 2 pound jump. Weight loss is such an emotional roller coaster sometimes lol !
  • 5-6 lbs. But it is water retention that is due to general hormonal changes not just regular TOM. I also drink a bit more coffee at the moment, which aggravates things.
  • i can fluctuate up to 5 lbs during my TOM
