Hey Lacey! Oh yes TOM is so pleasant isn't it? I gain about 2-3lbs in water weight, but then the week after, my weight is back down to normal... you could think of it positively though... maybe in the week of TOM, you are actually losing weight, so then the next week the scale will report you're even lighter because of the lost weight and lost water weight! I don't know, just food for thought... oh and also, I don' know if you drink diet sodas... but try to ween yourself onto sodas sweetened with splenda instead of aspertame... that may help. I myself am in introduction, and doing a VERY poor job at it ( I'm eating sugar free candy like mad) but for some reason still losing. Be sure to get some exercise in everyday that makes you sweat ( I run on my tredmill 20 min.) Good luck!
