    I think it just depends and its different for everyone. I eat over my calories a week before my periods by so much (500-700cals extra) and I gain maybe 4lbs sometimes, but its usually a 2lb gain. I know its water weight since I also tend to crave high sodium and more carbs. I actually lose an extra lb by the time it comes though for some weird reason.

    i feel the samee! i think its also cos you feel a bit rubbish you dont want to move and stuff. just watch what you eat and drink alot of water to help the retention xx

    I feel your pain.... I'm the same way.. However, usually since I don't have one... Well, now every time I start dieting there it comes. Which usually makes me stop dieting cause I get all these mood swings and have to have chocolate, when I usually dont want chocolate... Which in turn makes me stop dieting... So, I've started again and just started using this app and its starting again... But I'm trying real hard to control the mood swings and cravings, but its really hard... I would love some pointers and what you do to control all that... I've just been trying to keep my calories under control so when I get home I can have a snack or something if I need to... Plus, I've been so tired, but force myself to exercise.. It's what my husband calls, "All the joys and splendors of being a woman!!" If only he could have it for one day!!! Lol!!
