When TOM effects the scale, how long do you carry the extra weight? This was the first month I actually monitored my weight during TOM. It started last Monday and on that Monday I also increased my calories, from 1350 to 1524/1500. During the 5 day period I gained about 2.5 the first day, maybe.But after that the scale didn't move up or down again. Well 2 days post TOM I lost about 3lbs suddenly (today). Same 1524/1500, well actually I thick I stayed under the last two days for the most part.

Just wondering during TOM does the scale stall or does it go up- if it goes up how long does it take to go back down after TOM. Just want to here some statistics.

    I weigh in daily and track my TOM as well. Generally I have a 'plateau' or 1-4 pound gain that starts about 5 days before and lasts 10-14 days, every month.

    Once that's over with, I will 'lose' a pound or two every few days until I hit my monthly average (so far) of 7-9 pounds lost. It freaked me out the first month or two, thinking I'd hit a real plateau or gained, but now I'm used to it, lol.

    Bodies are weird.

    I usually gain 2-4 lbs between day 1&2. Day 2 I feel like a whale.and can't fit any of my clothes. Part 2 days or so I'm back at my normal weight.

    Ugh dont you just hate this? I just updated my stats that I had lost 4 pounds and guess what they are now back because my cycle is starting and I am bloated all in the course of 24hours. I wonder if I should add back on the 4 pounds blehh

    I don't usually gain when I have TOM. But when I eat a lot of salty foods I will put on about 2 pounds mid way through and then drop it all by the last day.

    Around 5 days before I plateau or gain 1-2, but the water weight is gone by the second day of my period. It is frustrating, but it is also a nice surprise to see the weight go on day 2!

    it's the second month I really monitor my weight during TOM and I've gained up to 6lbs from day one to day 7 then it drops back down and end up losing even more!
