I haven't been exercising in a week because of cramps ( TTOM). Im on my 2nd day and found Im up 3-4 pounds! Ive eaten at maintenanc except for one day which was 1800 over TDEE. What do you think?

    It's water bloat from TOM. It happens to most women.

    Ditto this. I can gain upwards of 5-7 pounds around that awesome TOM...It usually goes away. Just stick to what you know you need to eat calorie-wise and drink water. You'll be fine after it's done. :wink:

    Also, one restaurant meal high in sodium can make you gain 4-5 lb of water weight that may take 2-3 days to go back down.
