Default Is it the lc Cheesecake or TOM???????

Hi,
Well, I need your expertise once again. I weighed in Thanksgiving a.m. I hadn't weighed in for a while. Lost 2 lbs. Great Thanksgiving Day. Exercised that night & another 2lbs gone. Today, Sunday, 5lb GAIN!!!!!!!!!!

I have been eating at the leftover lc cheesecake since Thurs. I realized that 1/2 the pie is now gone. So, I've eaten 1/2 of a lc cheescake since then. I never went over my carb limit of 20-25. TOM will be here on Friday. Soooooo what's a girl to think???? I may as well throw that scale away. Just when I started to love it. I did slice the remaining pie in about 1/2 inch pieces and froze it. I did find once b4, I had a gain when I treated myself to a little cream cheeze with splenda. Is it the Cake, TOM (on Friday) or Splenda. There's a lot in the cake. I also gained 10lbs last month for TOM and the Whoosh Fairy came by. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could be a combo of both. I typically gain 3 lbs right before TOM (as much as 5 on bad months). Cheesecake and cheese in general can add to the woe....it is very easy to go overboard with cheesecake (I know).

MAYMAY.... I am right at the same point as you with the low carb cheesecake and that TOM, lol. I stay at 20 to 25 carbs a day as well. I havn't "gained" but I sure havn't lost this week either.The way I see it, having a lil low carb treat is better than a full blown cheat Have a great day everyone

Thanks guys!!!! I had to check it out this a.m. I had taken off 2 of the lbs gained, so it may be WATER from TOM. I'm telling you, last month I gained 10 lbs. Thought I would just quit. Thank God I didn't. I think I'm gonna throw out the chzck. It's even better frozen. I'm going throw it right now. Thanks again & good luck to you all!!
