Changed Eating, Changed ToM?
 

I'm just wondering if changing what you eat, and how much you eat, can affect your ToM? Has anyone's cycle been thrown off (duration, frequency, severity, etc.) after you've changed your eating habits?

Yeah I actually have a regular period for once in my life LOL. I have PCOS though so the more weight I lose the more I notice my body acting like a normal person's body. That being said I always have long painful periods so no difference there. Just a difference in them actually coming monthly as opposed to maybe 4 a year if I was lucky.

OMG ladies. I am currently going through a menopausal time--peri menopause I guess. For the past year or longer TOM has been getting further apart. I didn't have it for 3 months before joining WWPP. The 2nd week on the program, I got it, and now like clockwork. I'm hoping it'll disappear again. A friend of mine was quick to point that that just because one thing occurred (eating better), it didn't necessarily mean that it caused the 2nd thing to occur (TOM regularity), so I should chalk it up to coincidence. But yes, it was the FIRST thing I noticed, and of course it causes disappointing weigh ins.

Duration hasn't changed, but they are less severe.

mine was 5 days early last month, and 11 days late this month. And I am a super regular person normally. The only thing that has left me sane this month is that I had my tubes tied almost 8 years ago, so I knew I wasn't preggers. Not sure what is up with my hormones, I wasn't ever thrown off when I did this weightloss thing last time. Jenn

Nothing changed :( Always as regular, but always as painful as before too. :(

Yes I was having irregular periods before starting back on WW. Now I'm getting back to normal. Your diet has a huge effect on hormones. What you eat when you eat. So for me yes changing my eating changed my tom.

Ok, I ask because before I started on WWPP I was very regular, but I am now over a week late. :halfempty I've been on the WWPP program for 4 weeks now. I hope all it is is my body adapting to my new eating habits.

I have much less cramping (probably b/c I am getting a LOT more exercise), and they have "regularized" at about 35 days in length. Before WWPP, (and, granted, I had a baby last October), they ranged from 28 - 40 days and I had some pretty bad cramping.

BettyBooty - I had a baby last October too! on the 17th! Can't believe he is almost a year! Doesn't time fly so fast?!?

Mine was always very regular (every 28 days, you could set your watch by it) - but as I've lost weight I alternate between a lighter, not so painful month, and my normal "I want to cut my uterus out" month.

A change in eating is a "stress" on your body - it's something different - so it's somewhat normal if your cycle is thrown off in the first month or so.

OMG, it really does! My son was born on the 14th. I am amazed every day at how much he has changed since we first brought him home.
