    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.

    yeah, for me it can be up to and exceeding 5 lbs so i don't weigh myself 2 days before, during, or 2 days after!

    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.
