Default Water Rentention and TOM
TOM arrived for me this morning, now i am entirely natural (in that i dont use hormonal birth control, i have a copper coil) i have drank at least 2 litres of water today and i have peed ONCE. yes ONCE.

When do you guys normally begin to lose the water? is it day one or day two?

i have my official weigh in day tomorrow and im so scared it will be bad.

i was up 2 pounds this morning

Hey Paula!! My four year old boy is standing next to me as I read your post. He says, "that's a pretty lady."

I confirmed that he was referring to your photo and started typing this message.

And, it takes me about 1-3 days to lose the water retention!

Hey Paula- It's usually like the 3rd day that I see the water retention/bloating going back down. I usually just avoid the scale the first few days of TOM just to avoid the depression of seeing those extra pounds haha

OMG I JUST DID THE SAME D*MN THING YESTERDAY! I weighed myself during my TOM and freaked out because I had gained 2 lbs. Then, I got home and told my boyfriend and he told me that it was dumb to weigh myself during my TOM and to calm down. lol. Gotta love him. I refuse to weigh myself during mt TOM from now, forward.

TOM always screws with my weight loss efforts. I don't lose it until the end of my period usually. Once I know i have my TOM, i avoid the scale until the end. It is such a shame it has to mess the scale up. It is so fun being a woman!
