    rip out your uterus, you'll lose some weight

    Boiled, it makes quite good broth.....

    Best served with a nice chianti

    I don't like fava beans though...could we go with a bowl of steamed horse chestnuts instead?

    I spike up 5 pounds. It's not fat. I don't care.

    Ugh yeah, I go up 3-5 pounds, but usually lose it again the next week. What doesnt help is the insane scoffing I do the weekend before Im due on- this weekend I just went mental on whatever I fancied. Oh well, roll on the salads this week lol.

    So glad im not the only one that gets this! I gain a few pounds purely in water rentention for the duration of the week. It then falls right back off around the last day of my period. It drives me nuts! I can actually see where I carry it as my boobs and tummy get bigger and have a squishy feeling to them. I just dont log my weight that week as it screws up my overall progress on MFP, but it is good to know how much extra I'm carrying around that time. Mother nature has a lot to answer for!

    I am the exact same way! A few days before it arrives I find myself disgustedly agonizing over my "fat stomach," since I gain water weight and it seems to sit mostly in my midsection. Suddenly my stomach feels like it did when I weighed 5 lbs more. . . so discouraging and anxiety-provoking. . . UGH!

    And I get massively moody and clumsy. And I ALWAYS overeat a great deal for 2 days sometime shortly before it starts. I now recognize when I'm PMSing first by those 2 days of "bottomless stomach."

    BLECHH!!!! :explode:

    Oh this is so me! With added bouts of irrational red-hot fury and childish crying tantrums. We should start a support group lol.

    My weight always stalls the week before. I built an excel chart showing when I have TOM so I know what's coming. Doesn't bother me now, and I still stick with weighing daily, logging daily and exercising daily (I just walk..). Understanding your body's rhythms is part of the process IMO, especially for women. It helps you understand what is normal for you and what isn't.
