    Last month I put on half a pound the day I started and it didn't come off until about five days in, then I magically lost a pound. :)

    This month, I gained two the week BEFORE without going over my calories or skipping workouts.:explode: I just started so we'll see how it goes. :ohwell:

    Yes ma'am. Some is water weight and some is from the chocolate consumed.

    LOL same here....my sweets consumption during that time is shameful...

    Yes, about 10#s and then it drops back off a day or two after.

    Yes, at least 2-4lbs depending ... I start taking diurex a couple days before it gets here and that helps some. The scale still showed a gain then, but my stomach doesn't feel that 'omg my gut feels like it's going to burst' full majorly bloated feeling.

    I also quit weighing myself during this time. All it did was torture me and make me upset.

    I still exercise too, it does make me feel better.

    I'm so glad I read this post. I weighed myself last night and found that I have put on 11 pounds in one week, which essentially would have meant that I ate an additional 47,250 calories that weren't accounted for. I guess I've never really weighed myself around this time before. I was SO discouraged and had to get my roommates to assure me over and over again that this isn't possible. One of which is my sister and also a dietician. She agreed that it's a lot of water and to avoid salt.

    I made the mistake of stepping on the scale this morning and was disappointed to see the gain ... but then I just made a note to self: do NOT step on scale during your T>O>M> and try to stay within your calories so next week when its over i should be right where im supposed to be.

    I do, for sure!!! I can easily put on 5 to 7 pounds! It's usually all bloat/water weight. And, a few days after I'm done, it goes away. That's my problem right now. I'm discouraged, but I know the gain is all bloat.

    This happens to me. I can't wait for it to go and it'll look like a "sudden" loss

    Me too. I just don't want to upset myself. :)

    I have bad cravings though. I could eat anything in the first 3 days. It's horrible :)
