Plateau / weight gain during TOM?!

I've hit a plateau. I've been 130 every morning since starting my TOM, and I'm normally around 128 or 129. Ok, so one or two pounds maybe doesn't seem like a lot, but if this isn't from TOM then I've gained 2 pounds?! Someone please tell me its normal to weigh more during your TOM. Thanks everyone

    I gain 3 pounds during my TOTM. I don't bother weighing in until my period is over, because I know any gain I see on the scale is due to water retention. It'll only discourage me so why put myself in that situation when it can be avoided.

    I agree, I usually gain 4 pounds of water!

    Thanks for asking this, becaue its my TOM too, and I have gained like 4 lbs. I was so upset, until I remembered that my TOM was approaching! Glad to see I am not the only one :tongue:
