i can put on 2 lbs during that TOM. Some months is more some less.0

Im about the same as you. Your retaining water and water is rather heavy. Hang in there.0

Argh hate TOM! I usually put on at least 2-3 lbs plus all the bloating too makes me measure bigger also! I just started a challenge on Monday and of course TOM had to curse me that day lol. Just exercise the best you can and drink lots of water to flush all the water weight. Good luck to you:)0

Doctors have said that women can retain anywhere from 2 to 6 pounds before, during and after that TOM. I usually hold about 3....and it's that TOM for me....but this month I seem to be beating the odds. Once the heat hits, it only gets worse...but then again, you sweat more.0

I know it is soooo very discouraging, I try to use that time to really challenge myself to get through it as cleanly as possible, and then really pat myself on the back at the end when it all disappears magically, I find it motivates me to really work harder the week after....perhaps it can for you too. good luck0

Ughhhh...usually 3-6lbs.0

Don't weight yourself during that time. I put on like 2-3lbs too, so I just decided not to weigh myself that whole week. Better for my sanity.0

Just a little heads up on green tea, while it is good for you, it stains your teeth as bad if not worse that cigarettes (dentist told me)Thanks girlies! feel much better now! Ive just started drinking green tea and im addicted! i feel great these past couple of days apart from TOM!!!!0

Thanks. Yep, I too, have forsworn weigh-ins for that week...and the week before too. My body is just too crazy.0 -
I find when I get my gallon or more a day, that I don't gain as much during that time. For instance today, I weighed in before exercising and was at 119.6 and when I was weighed in after was at 117.6. Used to be, that I would drop 4-5 pounds of water weight. But now, if I consistantly get my water and exercise, that number is down.
I might add that I currently am in my monthly cycle.0 -
I hate "TOM" its annoying and fustrating so i try to avoid the scale during that time and into the following wk. I can gain anywhere bt 3-6lbs it seems usually right before I start and It seems like it takes a wk or so after TOM is over with till it goes back to normal again so Idk its so annoying...! its like a 2wk span during that time, where i dont really know where my weight REALLY actually is truley at because its so all over the map0

Now I have to DOUBLE make sure to brush my teeth twice a day... I've been drinking literally around half a gallon of green tea a day as of late.0 -

I drink mine through those little coffee straws, helps a lot with the staining0 -

Oohh that's a good idea, thanks!0 -
I can put on up to 5lbs the week before and it stays until after my TOM is over, so it's 2 weeks of horribleness this TOM i stayed the same and lost 3 when it was over. It's different every month. Just hang in there and try not to get discouraged. This isn't a race. The most important thing is to be healthy.
Good luck0 -
I find it really annoying as typically my weight is at its lowest the day before my period, but for a few days after it's over, I carry an extra 4-6lbs. This means that for about 10 days at a time I just can't face weighing myself!0
