Does anyone know if it's true that during a certain time of the month, it is possible to gain several pounds and get crazy cravings?? Any thoughts on this?? This is a huge battle for me.

    Um, absolutely. Your metabolism tends to kick up around the same time your monthly "friend" is about to come for a visit. I can gain anywhere from 3-7 lbs during that time, depending on my craving levels and if I've gotten my monthly migraine or not. It's getting better the more weight I lose and the more active I become, but it's still definitely an issue.

Since I have been losing weight I have managed to control the weight gain alot more by increasing exercise but as for the cravings they beat me every once and while. But I have learn't to say no too xxx

    before I started losing weight, I never checked my weight, or monitored my cravings or eating habits... now that I am, I'm noticing all kinds of habits...I never knew they could be associated. I never cared as to why I was feeling a certain way, I just did what I wanted... ate.
