Being that I started Day 1 (first load day) on Day 1 of my TOM I am wondering if the situation with not losing during that time applies more to when folks have already been on the protocol of a week of more. In my case, I lost five pounds (more since I didn't weigh on day 3 after the two days of loading.) in the first five days that correspond to my TOM.

I now have to decide if it is worth risking wasting several days worth of injections on the next one that will be due at the start of Week 4 of the protocol. From looking at everyone's comments I haven't seen anyone claim to have lost anything during this time other than me. I assume then that the only reason I lost is that it happened to also be the first five days of the program.

How soon after stopping the HCG do you start to get really hungry? That will help me decide.

Hi,

I am on day 14 of VLCD and my TOM started on day 12. I have injected through it and lost 1 pound yesterday and .8 pounds today.

So thats two of us losing during TOM

Okay. So thanks for that. It is good to hear that it is possible to lose during this time.

I have lost everyday so far on my Tom...ranging from .8 lbs to 1.4 to 3.2. So it's definately possible.

Update. I am on Day 26 of both my protocol and cycle. Weight loss from Day 21 to today has been disappointing. I woke this AM to note that I had gained .4 pounds despite having controlled my diet and water perfectly. For me it isn't the TOM exactly that is the issue. It is the week leading into that with all its accompanying water weight gain that is the issue for me.
