For 2-3 days every month, I hold water weight and actually gain 1-3 pounds!!:explode: I know it's to be expected due to mother nature, but it is sooo frustrating!!:sad: Any tips/suggestions on how to get thru it? Especially when I am absolutely CRAVING salt, which will make me hold even more water weight!!:drinker:

    And step away from the scale. Give yourself 7 days then weigh again. No need in torturing yourself.

    I agree ladies!! I am currently experiencing that same exact thing! I ate 10 piece Chicken Nuggets last night w a med fry and a med sprite!! And you know what--w that time of the month ---it was the most amazing satisfying meal EVER!!:drinker:

    I know I cannot do it all the time and I won't --but by golly with all the "stuff" mother nature puts us through every month--we are excused!!:grumble:

    No more punishing ourselves for what we crave!! I ate wonderfully today and plan too--until the "beast" strikes again next month! :huh:

    Well, at least after a bowl of frozen yogurt tonight!! Gotta have me some cookies and cream!! But only 3 scoops--not an ENTIRE bowl full like before!! :noway:
