    Absolutely normal!! Happens to me too. I really hate that TOM but it's gonna come whether we like it or not. Just keep in mind that it is that "time" and don't let it keep you from going after that goal!!

    YES! It is totally normal. Women retain more water - that's swelling and puffiness all over is just that - fluid and more fluid! Drink lots of water and it will pass...and so will IT! :0)

    Yep! Totally normal. I take my weigh-ins that week with a grain of salt ;)

    Oh yeah! I should have LOST at least some weight between my weigh ins but instead of a loss I had a gain of 7.5 pounds! grrrrrr! Hopefully it's GONE next week!!! :)
