I bloat the week before it. I'll be up easy 3-8 pounds. But it's gone just on time for TOM to hit. It's just water weight.

I think the reason you didn't notice it before is cause you weren't paying attention to the scale before. I know before I started Atkins I never worried about Oh the scale is up a pound or two cause I wasn't trying to lose weight. Now that we are trying to we are more aware of every pound. Make sense?

You'll be ok, don't let a couple of pounds get to ya. It'll go away.
