Since I started losing weight I've noticed that in the two weeks before my TOM my weight loss will stall and immediately after my period ends I'll drop 2-3 pounds. I was stalled at 150._ from mid-September up until this last Friday, at which point I dropped to 148.2. Today I started my period and am wondering if I will still drop weight after TOM.

Have any of you all had a similar experience and how did it work out? I just want to be mentally prepared at my next weigh-in in the case that I don't drop additional pounds.

i experience the same. right about 2 weeks After my period goes away thatw when i lose the weight and then some , its all water weight.

I always gain right at 5 pounds of water weight during TOM and about 2 days after it's over I'm rid of the 5 plus 1. (usually)

TOM sure does screwy things to our bodies lol

Yup for about 2 weeks before I'm lucky if I can lose even 1 pound and then following I'm usually down anywhere from 3 to 5 pounds!

This is weird, but when I'm on TOM, I get bad cramps and nausea so I eat less and I lose weight and soon as it goes away my appetite comes back and weight goes back to where it should be.

That happens to me too. As someone said, its water weight.

Yeah it is water weight... I am super unlucky though because I have a Mirena IUD for birth control and it prevents me from ovulating so I always hold water weight plus a little extra from the hormones but lucky in the way that I don't have a period... I guess everything has its ups and downs

Toward the end of my weight loss, the last several months, I'd lose NOT A SINGLE POUND during the non-TOM weeks, and after my TOM I'd drop 3-5 pounds that never came back...made it hard to find my maintenance calories afterward, but I did keep losing.
