  • Quote: I'm super frustrated, too. I think for some women, TOM is really mean and flat out refuses to permit any weight loss. I just realized that I can ONLY lose weight 2 weeks out of the month. It sticks like glue for the weeks leading up to TOM, and then drops off like crazy for the 2 weeks after. What's the deal?!
    Ah yeah. I know what you mean. It S.U.C.K.S! But you know, then we can look forward to those two weeks without TOM. Good luck this week. Just don't give up Those lbs shall be gone before Christmas!
  • I would like to join I already do accountability in other threads but it's good to set a goal. I see some people have birthday's on the 29th of December, mine is the 28th and I was hoping to hit goal by then.

    I'm four pounds heavier than my ticker right now because TOM has decided it would be fun to make me bloated and constipated. (yesterday it was a five pound difference)

    I only have about 18 pounds to goal, but I lose about 5 pounds a month so I think this will work well. I'm also doing New Rules of Lifting for Women.

    A little disappointed in my WI, but it was my own fault plus TOM is right around the corner. Hopefully next week will be much better! I also refuse to change my ticker up, so I will change it next week .

    A weight gain of even 5 pounds is not a problem during menses. Have any of you considered not weighing your self so often? I am not trying to piss anyone off or anything... but if I where on plan all week and gained weight, TOM or no TOM, I would be pissed and probably be asking my self what's the point? And that ALWAYS leads to me wanting to "treat' my self... which leads to REAL weight gain, which leads to more self loathing, which leads to more over eating which leads to more REAL weight gain... arrrrg!

    I am doing Atkins and had my most "on plan" week ever, my only cheats where an extra cup of lettuce and a handful of cashews, but lost "only" 1.7 pounds. I KNOW that this past week I lost more inches than ever before...

    So I finally got the guts to measured myself for the fist time last night, now I wish I had done it sooner. I think that I am going to keep doing this every two weeks so when the scale tells me I am a big failure I can look at the measurements and help remind myself I'm not.

    Hope this is helpful to someone!

  • I'll like to join! It sounds like an attainable goal, and it's a great mini-goal to work for.
