    Drink water, take a vitamins A, B6 and C, avoid alcohol, avoid salt and most importantly exercise! ......Those usually do the trick for me. Most people again anywhere from 2-5 pounds during TOM. I gain 1 pound at the most.

    I hate when TOM does that to me! But I have learned to deal. It's part of being a woman, like losing weight slower and gaining it faster! I still wouldn't want to be a man!

    I used to get upset about it.. but now I've just come to realize that its for a short time.. and I know the water weight will come off just as soon as I put it on... Its the same thing for my cheat on Sundays.. I usually gain 2 lbs of water weight from the extra sodium and it comes off Tuesday as a result.. So I just remind myself and it helps a lot not to get upset..

    At 54 y.o., TOM doesn't come round to visit me any more.... But I have noticed that if I DARE add even one mere tsp of salt to my food, I blimp out like a dirigible.... :grumble:

    I have found that bladderwrack tea really help with the water retention :)

    Tea is natural diuretic. A day or two before TOM comes start drinking a couple glasses a day with some lemon or a pack of sweetner and It should help.
