    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.

    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.

    ME TOO!!! I lose. strange!!!

    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!!!


    try snacking on small protein/energy bars. they will fill you up. same here, i get the munchies baddd but my cravings are always the same...... butter popcorn with garlic salt and valentina hot sauce!

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

    Thats where I seem to gain my most. Probly from cravings and I super bloat then.

    ohhh yes lol! 2-5lbs of water weight as well! all i can say is drink water water water!!!! and by about 3 days post your TOM (time of the month!) it usually is all off again! If you stuck to working out and eating right you could also lose more than you gained during TOM. Not a ton but i can still lose a pound during TOM if i stick to my guns! but boy its hard!

    Sometimes yes, sometimes no... And I think on the months I do gain during TOM, it's because I'm eating more junk food than I normally do! LOL

    I definitely don't lose any!!! But I haven't gained this week either. I think it's b/c I've been really on top of my diet (ie. no salt or sugar), but that's not always the case. I can be up 2lbs the first day or two, but it usually goes away along w/ that bloated feeling. Ugh! My periods have actually been a lot more manageable now that I work out and eat right--it makes a difference in everything you do!

    I must be messed up then...I always gain the week before! The week I get it my weight drops right back down. So I guess all my bloating happens prior!

    I have never gained weight at that time but then again every one is different it probably depends on hormones

    I never get bloated thats prob what it is just water weight always drink 8 ounces per 25 pounds that you weigh and add an additional 8 for each 25 that you want to lose
