    I'm lucky because for me it doesn't go up. I tend not to lose though if it is my tom. :/

    My TOM doesn't really affect my weigh in's.
    Make sure you are drinking a lot of water & keep an eye on your sodium whilst you are on :)

    I can gain 1 - 3 pounds during Tom & sometimes nothing...hate weighing in during but I don't let it bother me because the numbers always go down afterwards.

    I generally don't gain. I just stop losing.

    I'm only affected if I eat like a madwoman during it. Otherwise, my weight doesn't really change.

    I don't have Tom visit me any more(funny reference) But when he did...I like you had a weight gain always and felt bloated...drinking lots of water and herbal tea really helped. It never stayed on...when tom left so did the weight...;) keep strong. Lois:flowerforyou:

    I don't gain, I lose. Then bounce back up again, sadly.

    Generally I see no change, sometimes even a loss. But I feel 15 pounds heavier regardless of the fact that I drink a crap ton of water everyday and decrease sodium.

    Hi..I can gain as much as 10 pounds depending on what I eat - the more salt the more bloating, the higher the weight. I try not to weight myself the few days leading up or during.

    Upward of 5 pounds depending on water and sodium intake. Bloat city! It all usually disappears and then some by day three.

    2-3 lbs usually from bloating and water weight.

    I gain about 3 lbs but not only right before TOM but also when I ovulate..... I realized that several months ago (now that my stomach is flat) that I would get bloated 1/2 way through my cycle so I did some research & found out that it happens to a lot of women.

    I have the same problem. I gain up to 4 punds but I have noticed I tend to give into cravings more the week before. So I tend to eat higher sodium. So I agree with the other posts don't wiegh till after TOM and watch your sodium. It's not fat weight anyway just water weight unless you go crazy with food craviings it will be gone in a few days.:flowerforyou:

    The one time I weighed during TOM I was up 6lbs. It all went within 4-5 days.
    Now I don't weigh in that time, there's no point.

    I usually gain around 2-3lb and for the week before I constantly crave sweet food and cannot stop eating! (which will probably account for the gain) but usually within a few days it will start to go down again :-)

    I gain about 3-4 pounds the week before and I don't lose it until a couple days after Tom leaves.
