How much more do you weigh during that time? I'm at my peak right now, tomorrow would be weigh in but today I weigh 1lb more than last monday. I've doing ao well this whole week, excercising my butt off....
So when should I weigh myself? When it's over, a few days after?

    I usually weigh 3-4lbs more during TOM but I always lose those TOM lbs plus more about 4 days after it's over.

    To keep me sane I just don't weigh during TOM - just keep eating well and working out as usual.

    i dont weight in during TOM either because i also go up about 3-4 pounds and it is just discouraging.... i just skip my weigh in that week and hope to see an even better number the following weight in! good luck

    they say your true weight is about three days after your TOM is over..i always weigh myself when it starts so i know how much i typically gain, and it usually goes down about 3 pounds after :)

    the week before i start to gain, usually 3-5lbs. it doesn't go away until a few days after my TOM is over. everybody is different. keep track for a couple of cycles and see what happens, so next cycle you'll know not to weigh in for a week or 2 :) it really sucks, but keep with it. you're not really gaining weight, it's just you body being weird. it'll come off when it's over as long as you stick with the diet and exercise. good luck!!

    Last month I gained 3 pounds in 24 hours, but then lost it and then some. It happens. You just have to plan for it.

    Yip me too.

    Have reached the decision that I won't weigh during TOM any more. It just depresses me because I also seem to gain about 3lb and then lose it really quickly...

    I can go up a cup size at my TOM so I usually guess the extra weight is being held in my boobs. I tend to be 3-4lb heavier
