hi everyone,,i wanted to know if anyone knew how long i should wait to weigh after my tom ends,,to show true weight? thankyou

I retain anywhere from 3-4 pounds water weight during my TOM. When it's over, I take about 2-3 days to get rid of the water weight. But I've found that the amount of water I retain is dependent on how hydrated I was going into my TOM. That is if I didn't drink all my water consistently two weeks prior to my TOM, I seem to retain more water and retain it longer. But that's just me and my crazy body. It might be different for you.

Well, 5-6 days before T.O.M. I start loosing less (or even gaining). Untill T.O.M. arives. When it arives, I'm happy. My appetite goes down, I'm not hungry anymore and from the 2nd or 3rd day of T.O.M I start loosing again with the same speed.

Hi Michelle - I had the exact same concern last week because I made the HUGE mistake of weighing myself on the first day of my you know what and I had gained water weight, freaked out, etc. - now I am back to where I was and am losing every day - For me I kicked back into weight loss about a week after the day I started so I would wait until then.
