Seriously?? THREE POUNDS overnight??? I go through this every month, and every month you would think it's the first time! I also ate some frozen pizza from Trader Joe's last night, which sure didn't help with the sodium, either. Ugggh, I know it's water weight, but it's just soooo discouraging :-(

    I don't bother weighing myself from about 3 days before mine starts til about 3 days after it ends. Why bother? You are just aggravating yourself for no reason.

    Put your scale away while it that TOM, it's just not worth discouraging yourself over.

    being a women can really.. really be annoying sometimes!

    Try to use this frustration to have a high intensity cardio session, then when the TOM is over- you will reap the rewards of a nice scale weightloss!

    I am just getting over mine this is the 1st one I have had since I started losing weight. I still was trying to exercise (which was hard) no energy , felt like crap, I didn't really give into the food cravings , I had a 1 cookie 2 days in a row but other then that I was good , I was wondering how long this extra water weight was going to take to come off. I did up my water in take , but that has kept me up 2 nights in a row running to the bathroom every hour ,lol

    At least you realize you

    1. Are going to have a period no matter what

    2. Probably retain fluid

    3. Crave the most horrible foods

    4. Know that you will go in ***** mode

    :flowerforyou: Hang in there
