Sounds silly but do we gain around our time of the month. I don't feel bloated or anything but according to the calendar, my friend will be coming in the next few days and I have gained 1 pound?

    Most women seem to gain around the TOM. I take magnesium supplements daily along with my multi vitamin. That magnesium really helps with bloating. Of all the supplements out there, it's pretty benign. 250 mg a day is what is recommended (I learned that on Dr. Oz, btw) Have fun with your friend! :smile:

    Yep! Your body retains water I sometimes gain 2+ pounds during that time of the month even when I don't think it's time for it or feel bloated. Drink plenty of fluids and keep logging and weighing in :)

    Yep - I gained 3 lbs this last time. It's frustrating, but you have to realize that it comes off quickly after your TOM is done. Like everyone else said - drinks lots of water! :)
