i always gain a few pounds during tom, and i can't lose at ALL during tom, but i know it will come off as soon as it's over, and whatever i've lost will come off in the next couple of days. so it's probably just water retention from tom. that's what happens with MY body, anyway.

you must be so stressed with your goal!! no worries, though, you sound like you are doing so well with this. oh, and water, water, water helps me out so much. wish u luck...oh, one more thing--i, too, am addicted to the scale, but i think this comes from the beginning of induction when it's exciting to see those first twenty pounds just woosh off...i got on, like, every morning for three weeks...now i just do every couple of days. so you're doing just fine. just drink that water. good luck.
