No loss during TOM...any advice? - Phentermine.com

sergeantsgirlfriend · June 29th, 2008, 03:24 PM

It looks like my period from hell is finally starting to pack up and leave, thank God! Now the real problem is that during all of this, I have lost no weight. I guess I should be thankful that I didn't gain any and I am. I just wondered if any of you had any advice on how to get that scale moving again? I feel like I'm in a rut. Help please!

Well it's very common to not see a loss during TOM. It's also common to see a gain. It's just water retention. Make sure you drink a ton of water. In my case, within a day of TOM being gone I've seen a significant drop in lbs..like anywhere from 2-5 lbs. Just keep doing what you're doing and you'll see it come back down!

Couldn't have said it better myself. I don't have any experience with this yet, but I have seen others say that they don't lose during TOM and then they drop when it goes away.

Yup, I had this prob last week and they told me the same stuff. Keep eating healthy and doing what your doing... my scale dropped 3 lbs in the last few days after being stuck for a week.

i usually gain during TOM. then, when it's over i pee like CRAZY and it goes back down. it's just water retention. if you wear rings and they are tighter u can know for sure that's what it is.

It takes about 2 days after my TOM before I lose the weight. I guess my body is weird.
