Default No PMS this month!

I am just amazed at the different bonuses to this WOL! I have always had bad PMS for as long as I can remember, it gets so bad sometimes that my husband (bless his heart) has threatened to go stay at a hotel til it is over. This month I did not get ANY of my usual *itchiness, cramps, and just all around crappy feeling. I am convinced that it is from this WOL.

I have never had a normal cycle since I started when I was 10. My cycles ranged from every 28 days to every 100 days and lasted from 5 to 15 days each. Since I started this WOL in January, my cycles have been perfect. Every 28 days like clock work and only lasts 4 days. AND, I ovulated last month for the first time in over a year.

I wish Dr. Atkin's was still alive, I would give him the biggest hug EVER!

I also lost 11 more inches the past 3 weeks. I updated my journal with the measurements. Soon I will be able to use the shorter tape measure!

Good for you! Feeling healthier really does tell me that this WOE is the right way, even excluding the benefits of the fat loss. Glad you are having such success!

I don't have PMS while doing LC either. This month I didn't have any warning signs beforehand. Usually, I wake up the night before with the most horrible cramps.

Have you given up caffeine? I have and wonder if that has a big deal to with it. Whatever it is......I'm so glad for it.

I have craved chocolate though....some "legal" chocolate mousse and I'm all set!
