    Thanks for this post! I don't know if/what I gain before TOM, but I do know that I just stepped off the scale very discouraged. I started TOM two days ago, and I've been working out more and eating super clean and light (probably too light), and I stepped on the scale and it was the same that it's been for a few weeks. Hopefully after TOM is over, my progress will show up a bit on the scale. *fingers crossed*

    I magically lost weight during my last TOM. Went from 58 to 57 kilos and that's where it still is now, although that's probably not the answer best suited for the purpose of this thread haha. But yes, I usually gain a bit as well during TOM and just feel bloated in general.

    2-4 lbs which also masks any "real" weight loss until I lose the water weight.

    I felt so bloated this month, I measured my waist, and it was up by .75 inches! Gone with the weight, though.

    Thankyou so much for starting this thread. Have been really discouraged this week as no weight loss even though all my numbers say i should.... but had a lightbulb moment reading this as doh!! its that time. Thankyou - feel much happier now. I can sometimes put on up to 5 lbs but it goes within the week.

    3-5 lbs. Diurex is my BFF.

    Oh my goodness! Me too! I always have a huge gain, around 4-6 lbs, but if I avoid salt and carbonated beverages it is usually better. (But realisitically, that doesn't happen very much on my TOM bc I have ridiculous cravings too!) I have used Diurex in the past though because I just swell up so much!

    I actually only gained one pound for one day...then went back to the normal weight and even lost two pounds the last week. So it depends on the person for the TOM.

    2-5 lbs

    It always goes away about 2 days after I'm done though.
    Remember to drink lots of water.
    Popping a pre-natal vitamin always helps energy levels, too (due to the iron, and obviously if you have a heavier flow, you might need extra to replenish your body) thus helping you get to the gym more :)

    its nice to see that others get it before! I thought I was a little odd..........

    I can gain anything up to 7lb the week before, but as soon as TOM starts it goes back to normal.
