    I gain around 3 to 4 pounds. I hate weighing myself around that time. But it goes away quickly, thank god. :P

    2 pounds, but I feel like I gained 20. I try not to think about it.

    I don't gain, my weight stalls.

    I'm so happy I stumbled across this thread today, because it's about to be TOM and I've been so sad about the scale being up 3 pounds... This made me feel better to know I'm not alone!

    that's why I posted it! I needed a boost!

    I try not to weigh myself during my TOM, but I generally gain around 4 lb when I do. When I was irregular, I would gain up to 10 lb - I was more overweight then, too.

    I guess I am weird. I either do not gain or I lose. It is strange. I do feel bloated during that time. It is hard not to eat more during that time. It is like my body needs more. I really have to watch it.

    I usually gain between 5-10lbs. I hate it. I dont even count weigh-ins during that time.

    About 1 - 2 kgs, whch is around 2 -4 pounds and I am also horribly bloated.
    I keep a pair of larger jeans for that time of the month and I try to avoid the scale for 1 full week.

    3-7 from about 2 weeks before i'm due to about 2 days after i get it.

    some months less, some months more. there seems to be no rhyme or reason to determine if it'll be 3 or 7, so i just operate under the presumption that for 2 weeks of the month i'll be happy and feel good and have a normal appetite, and for 2 weeks of the month i'll be miserable, bloated, anxious, weak, tired, and ravenously hungry.

    sometimes i can't wait to hit my mid 50's.

    TOM always makes me gain about 5 pounds so I'm sure to stay away from the scale....

    Up to two to three pounds more for me, so no worries! Even if you don't feel bloated, always wait until after your period to be sure. :)

    Probably a couple pounds. Honestly though, since I got healthy, the negative side effects of my period are almost non existent. A little bloating beforehand, but cramps, fatigue, heavy bleeding, etc are all pretty much non existent now.

    i actually drop right before...i drop insane...like anywhere from 8 to 20 lb drops in the week before and during the first 3 days...then in the last two days of my cycle, I will gain back 4 pounds (that's consistent, its always four pounds) and then it will level off...
