    For sure! Usually from bloating due to all the hormones and increased urges to snack. It passes though.

    Absolutely! I usually don't weigh in on my TOM week for that reason.

    Yup. But it will most likely come off when you are done... Oh the joys of being a woman :laugh:

    Of course! However I'm a once-a-week weigh in type of girl. If I weighed every day I think I would become very frustrated since we girls do fluctuate with our lbs more than guys.

    So far I've had my TOM twice since I started trying to lose weight..and both time I have just maintained.. which is surprising so I guess it depends on the person

    Since I've been tracking, I haven't. It's strange...I do the same as I always have. Watch my sodium and drink lots of water. I try not to give in to the cravings (chocolate and crunchy stuff). I usually go up a bit when I'm done though.

    I had to wait a week or so after to get a consistent reading off the scale. It was really frustrating!

    Sometimes as much as 5 pounds!!! Usually the scale goes up right before I start and then once I am actually on it it goes down. But ALL I want to do is eat. I am having that struggle today, actually!!! Food is consuming ALL of my thoughts today!!!

    I must be in the minority. I usually have good losses that week. Of course, I don't allow myself to give into cravings and I still workout. I have found that a good workout helps with cravings as well as cramps.

    Nope xD

    I continue to lose regardless of the time of the month :D

    no, i lose the most during my TOM; but right before I struggle with gaining/losing same 2-3lbs over and over agian for 2weeks; then lose about 6lbs every time during TOM, and generally lose a decent amount the week after as well.

    Oh YES! sometimes as much as 5 POUNDS! -OVERNIGHT!- in the day or two preceeding, and the extra weight hangs out until the third or fourth day of the cycle, then I miraculously lose it all overnight and end up right back where I was the few days before. The BEST part for me is that my cycles are pretty close together (21 days from start to start with only two weeks in between) so I get to gain all that weight sometimes more than once a month! (twice in June and twice in July so far!) JOY!

    I gain between 2-5 lbs one week out of the month. I rarely even step on the scale the week before I'm due to get my period, lest I get discouraged.

    This last month, I lost during TOM, however I gained 2 lbs during ovulation, and then lost it. Anyone had any experience with this?
