Do you find that when it's the TOTM you weigh more? Do you weigh more the week you are going to get it,during it or after? Just wondering.

    Some people retain more water (before and/or during) - that would cause more 'weight' to show up on the scale. Just a part of being a beautiful powerful woman! Aren't we lucky???? :drinker:

    I weigh more a few days before my TOM and during...once its over the water weight goes away. It is such a pain in the butt. I find myself gaining about 1.6 pounds. Hope that helps.

    YES! As a matter of fact, I don't even weigh myself the week before or the week of--it just depresses me and makes me want to eat!:ohwell:

    I just don't weigh myself around that time! It helps that I only have 4 periods a year thanks to my pills!
