    3-7lbs. not counting legitimate weight gain from the cravings and ravenous appetite.

    Nothing, it doesn't make me gain. It's the rest of the month that's the problem.

    Really? You've never retained water on your period? You're super lucky.

    Nope. I find it really weird because i do get quite bloated at that time.

    I always gain 3-4 lbs the week before. :explode:
    But I've learned not to weigh that week. It's nice to see a loss the week after though.

    ravenous is right. 2 days ago i was hungry every hour...and everything was metabolizing because my stomach was rumbling. i never metabolize food that quickly. it was weird. i ate 950 calories before 12pm (so unlike me)

    thankfully i was so exhausted that i slept a lot of the day after that.

    Haven't experienced my TOM while using MFP so I can't really say yet. But it will be interesting to find out since I don't really have a TOM beside symptoms due to IUD.
