    All I can do is suck it up, take some Advil, and try to just drink water...No pop or teas. :( Sometimes being a chick just sucks.....lol

    Just go with the flow (sorry for the pun). I always expected to gain between 3 and 5 pounds that week but knew that the next week it would be gone again. Problem for me would be the chocolate cravings. Need to give in a little. NOT A LOT! AND if the cramps allow, keep up the exercise or do more exercise. If not, just get through the week and start again the next week. A month of weight loss for most women is really 3 weeks, not 4 because of periods.

    Drink lots and lots --- and lots of water. Watch your sodium. Continue to exercise (trust me, it makes you feel better and helps cramps)

    Also I start taking Diurex a couple days before my period starts (as recommended) and continue taking it during. It helps a lot to alleviate the extra bloat feeling. I used to bloat like no other, miserable bloat feeling, now it's not so bad at all.

    Also don't even think about setting foot on the scale while it that's TOM. :wink:

    If you are having caffeine, it makes it worse. My daughter has tried every cramp and bloating product out there. The only thing that helps her is Naproxen(Aleve).

    No scale, extra water and watch my sodium intake. I feel your pain. It will pass quickly I assure you!
