    About a week before AF is due I can eat anything and everything and not get full. I have dubbed it Shark Week so when I talk with friends. They get a kick out of that, but it's appropriate for how much I want to eat. The urge to eat stops abruptly about 2 days before AF shows and then a day after AF shows up my weight goes back to normal completely and I have my energy back.

    I am currently up about 2 or 3 pounds and AF should be showing in a couple days. Looking forward to seeing what the scale says on Sunday!

    I usually gain 2-4lb but lose it again easily once my hormone calm down.

    Total normal honey... I usually know when I'm about to start, I eat so much leading up to it, then it's a fight to get it off after!

    Yup normal! I'm 5lbs like clockwork - it goes away right after. If I indulge and take in too much salt it might last an extra day or two that's it :-)

    It kind of depends on the month, sometimes I do bloat up like a pufferfish (jeans are snug, shoes are snug) and this is when I either maintain my weight, or gain a lb or two, then a few days after my official "period arriving" day, the water weight drops off (magnificent bathroom breaks!) as well as a lb or two.

    Some months I don't gain at all, and I don't end up losing either.

    I exercise regularly during TOM, and try to keep my raging hunger in check by many small snacks throughout the day, plenty of water and green tea.

    You bet it happens to most of us. Must admit the worst time for me was when I went through a stage of having a male personal trainer. Of course I knew the reason for my 5lb weight gain, but he just kept asking my what I thought I'd been doing wrong all week!!! He was impressed the following week though when I'd 'lost' the 5lb plus another 1!! ;-)

    I used to have that at WW even and I was damned if I was announcing in front of everyone that it was my TOM.

    I drink lemon water for a natural diuretic to help with bloating and just wait til it's over to weigh.

    I gain around 3-5 lbs. I try to avoid the scale on those days.

    It's just water weight, so it's not fat or anything. Totally irrelevant!

    If you're on the pill, that might be why you have water retention. My doctor made me switch for one with lower levels of hormones and it decreased noticeably.

    Well I hate pms. Feels like I've been doing that for the past three weeks now! I'm sixteen days late on my period and negative pregnancy test (I really thought the doc messed up on hubby LOL). Still waiting for "Aunt Flo" to show. :noway: Sigh. Hormones. :grumble:
