Hello all. How much weight would be added on the second day of TOM? I know it's an estimate, but I need a rough idea, please.

Thanks ladies, and guys in the know...

    Lordy, some times I gain 3 or 4 pounds during my TOTM. GAH! Damn hormones and water weight.:grumble:

    I put on about 2 pounds of water and bloating weight this time around. I drink tons of water and really try to be good but yesterday was a nightmare.

    When I don't eat right I can go up as high as 4 pounds. But usually after a few days I go back to normal.

    This is the worst time of the month for me...I have PMS and gain about 5lbs...just hate it! I have been paying closer attention and noticed if I eat foods with a lot of sodium it is worse. I just need to remember to drink tons of water it makes me feel better.

    RULE....DON'T WEIGH DURING TOM!!!! It is so discouraging is not good for you. Mr. Scale is a fibber during this time of month. Turn your back on him right now! :bigsmile:

    i actually dont gain weight when im on TOM.

    everyone body is different some loses some gain and some just stay in remain. i have never once gained a lb. so i guess im good in a way. but i dont lose either.
    so it works its way

    I don't gain weight either during my TOM. I suggest going with a 2-3 pounds though, just to be sure.

    I learned that lesson, too. In fact, I won't weigh until the end of the week AFTER my period. That way, things are back in balance.

    Up to 7lbs and I am with the others. I gave up weight during that time. Not until a couple days after it is COMPLETELY gone. Too depressing and upsetting.

    I have endromitiotus and on a really bad month I can gain up to 10lbs! So upsetting!
    Step away from the scales, avoid salt, eat as much fresh food as possible and drink LOADS of water. This helps me!

    Since joing MFP...its the only time I've ever weighted myself consistently, so i don't know how much I gain during TOM...and i don't plan to weigh myself during that time.

    I feel very bloated, I don't feel like myself, I look bigger, I think getting on that scale would only make me feel worst that I already do.
