    Everybody is individual, myself I can bounce around by 6lbs in the week or 2 running up to TOM then during to end will have a sudden drop. I now only weigh myself once a month at end of TOM as otherwise my weight chart would be jumping about all over the place and is so demoralising :noway:

    I like these answers... i guess next week i'll find out if i go back down 2 pounds! all i know is the last week (even before it started) I have been on the "see-food" diet. everything in sight, i want in my mouth.

    All women retain water the days before. It is normal. But I'm not worried about it, it's just water after all, and it will go away. We are not gaining weight, we're just retaining more water.

    I usually stay pretty much the same...it's always a frustrating week for me, but then I lose even more than usual the week after so it all equals out. I just have to be careful to not add salt or chocolate to my diet the week of...those are my 2 major cravings when I'm on it.

    I usually put on 2kgs (over 4lb) during my period, and I get MAJOR food cravings beforehand. Like, I can never feel full two days leading up to my period, so I try to stick to the calorie counter because I know that no matter how much I eat during these two days, I will never be satisfied

    I stay the same. Towards the end, I'll rapidly lose weight to where I would've been if it hadn't stalled.
