Ladies, how much does your weigh fluctuate before that TOM?

As much as 7lb when the curse of the crimson tide strikes!!0

Mine doesn't fluctuate at all. I weigh in once a week and I see no noticeable difference on period week compared to the other weeks. However, plenty of women do experience water retention during their period. It's normal.
Am I the only one that's sick of all this 'TOM' crap? It's called a period, a menstrual cycle, bleeding from your vagina - these aren't bad words, so there's no need to hide behind initials.
TOM is quicker to type than 'menstrual cycle' and 'bleeding from your vagina'. Being a lazy girl, I'll stick with TOM. :flowerforyou:
OP: My weight fluctuates and/or stalls each month as well. Sometimes I go up as much as 5 pounds, but usually its only one or two pounds.0 -
I've been 2 pounds up every time like clockwork, as early as a week and a half before it starts and up to 4 or 5 days into my period. :-/ But it always goes away, os that's a plus. I use it as motivation to kick extra butt during my workouts.0

I actually experience my biggest loss of the month in the week leading up to my period. Once I actually start bleeding though, it stalls totally (but doesn't go up). I start to see a slow loss again well after my period. So I guess I retain water a bit DURING (not before).0

Between 5-7 lbs. Makes me feel like a whale or a blimpie.0
-
2-5 pounds each and every month.....UGH!!!!!0
-
YES!!!! The week before my cycle I gain 2-4 pounds. The week of my cycle I lose my expected one pound a week.0
-
7 lbs last time and it stayed on for almost 10 days!0
-
I haven't noticed any weight changes thus far. But that's probably because I weigh in so infrequently. I do, however, feel really bloated.0
-
I either stall or "gain" up to 5lbs. I normally have a dramatic loss a few days after all is said and done. I only log my weight here when there is a loss. So I can go 2 weeks with gain/no change because of TOM fluctuations.0
-
I either stall or gain 5-10 lbs right before and during. Last few months it seems to just stay after for about a week. Then I have a big loss and all is well. I feel bloated and my pants get tighter which to me is worse than the scale. I'm hoping this month with the walking and the water drinking it won't be so bad.0

Hi,
I usually gain at least 2lbs if not more but love getting on the scales a few days afterwards when it's all gone again!0 -
I won't even get on the scale around that time, I go up at leas 5 lbs.0

Pretty sure the half a second longer it takes to type "period" instead of "TOM" is pretty insignificant in the long run. It's just clearly a way to not say "period"....and for what reason, I'm not sure. Next we'll be saying "private parts." We're adults, let's use adult words.0 -
Between the water retention, bloat, and insane cravings, I typically just avoid the scale entirely for the week til it's over.0
