    Yes...I can gain 3-5lbs during the week or so before. I just drink lots of water and try not to eat salty foods during that time. It helps me :)

    yes, bloating and water retention around TOM leads to slight weight gain but will be gone again once its finished :) I usually go up 2-3lbs around that time!! No biggie, its only a temporary gain.

    I always go up a couple of pounds for about 8 days a month (before/during/after TOM). :(

    Definitely heavier just before and during and just after!!! It varies between 2-3 pounds heavier for me. And I have practically no loss during that week either!!! Grr!!! xx
