So... How does your weight loss go during 'that time of the month'? Water weight gain? Anything funky? Just curious.

    Most of the time I am 3 lbs heavier those days. I can gain up to 5 lbs and then its gone when I am done.

    I didn't lose much during that week but the next week I had a much bigger loss than usual, I'm attributing it to my TOM

    During TOM last month, I didn't gain any but definitely stayed steady on the same weight. After TOM left, I was 2 lbs lighter so the water retention was definitely something I had to deal with. I also forced myself to work out and stick with my cal plan, so I think it all worked out.... :)

    Im in a real minority and nothing special happens this time. I guess that might change with age.

    Funny you should ask, I'm there right now. I weighed myself yesterday and was up 1.4 lbs. since last weigh-in one week ago. I just couldn't stop eating yesterday and was WAY over my calories. I haven't exercised in the past 2 days due to cramps and general all-round feeling lousy. I am SO disappointed in myself. Feeling better today so I'm hoping to get a workout in. It just sucks!
