    Oh yes! I usually don't weigh myself during that week. It's misleading.

    I do weigh myself, but don't let the number bother me. I usually weigh 2-3 pounds more during that week.

    I skip that week for weighing myself. Its nothing for me to gain 5 pounds or more in water weight so Im not going to torture myself. I just try to increase my water intake and lay off the caffeine. Usually helps alleviate some of the bloat.

    I can gain upward to 10 lbs. I find the day before is the lowest weigh day then I gain. This time around it is just 3 lbs last time it was 8.

    yes..I dont even bother To step on the scale during TOM . I usually gain between three to five pounds during, the weight comes right off after im done. You retain water during this time therefore you weight more.

    I know I FEEL heavier... I'm not really sure, but I only weigh in once a week. Mine usually last about 6 days. My last 2 weigh ins were the day before I started (down 4 lbs) and the day I ended (down 8 lbs) But really everyone can be different.

    Yep I can easily go up to 5lbs heavier during it, I try to avoid the scales during it.
