So, I'm a daily weigher - lot's of reasons why including the fact that I just like to keep an eye on things.
Am also on day 20 of 100%, not a single cheat (not a boast - I honestly haven't felt the need to) and I've even being managing to get down 2-3ltrs of water a day.
Scales haven't shifted at all for the last 5 days.
Now, I'm currently monitoring my basal body temp because am thinking about TTC sometime next year and wanted to be able to hit the ground running (as it were); interestingly (to me at least!), this STS scale session has occurred with this month's ovulation
Now, I've always been aware that I put on at least half a stone of water-bloat with my TOTM, but I didn't realise I was also doing it when my ovaries were popping (though thinking about it it makes sense.)
Am now thinking back to all those times in the past I've got on the scales and unexpectedly found that I weighed more than I thought - my own body has been sabotaging me!
Anyway, I thought I'd put my little discovery down here on the forum (though I'm sure it's been mentioned before) to give all the other females a bit of reassurance and potential cause of a STS weigh-in despite all your hard-work in sticking to the diet!
[It also occurs to me that when I do start TTC, my OH is going to be hearing the phrase "Honey, I'm starting to feel bloated. Come give me some special lovin'." I'm such a catch...]
