    It's normally during the week before your period.

    First day and all through it I'll usually go up about 3 pounds, even without changing anything I eat.

    The the day after the last day, it all comes off, I can tell 'cause I have to pee like 10 times that day.

    I eat nothing different during this time and drink nothing different during this time and I still gain 1 to 2 lbs. Sorry I'm one of those people who don't usually crave anything during this time. I used to but haven't in the last few years.

    Lucky b!#ch!!

    Towards the beginning. Sucks for us. The bad thing is I have it for a week so no help with weight loss.

    I gain weight in the beginning but if I keep up my same routine, eating within my calories and exercising then it comes off at the end. If I pig out and lay around then some of it stays I find.

    I usually dip right before it starts for some reason (probably because my body does a "purge" right before and I can't keep any food in more than a few minutes because of the extra fluid --- I'm trying to keep this from being TMI).

    I will usually peak at 1-2 lbs up about 2 days in and then it holds until about 7-10 days after. Then I go back to regularly scheduled programming. If I'm well hydrated, the weight gain seems to be less though.

    My problem isn't hormonal. A couple days before my TOM starts, I am just so hungry all the time. I can't seem to get full and I think it is my body preparing for the assault. I have to force myself to only eat low calorie during those times.

    A few days before. That is when I have horrible cravings and want to eat the entire house.

    i dont notice TOM ever being a problem, but I work treats into my plan. Sometimes I wonder if those that gain are just having extra calories and that is equating the gain?

    Today is day one for me and I am down 1 lb right now. I will watch it more closely for the next week though.

    i don't crave anything extra but still tend not to lose that week or gain an pound. Normally the week after I will then lose an extra pound.

    Funny this should be asked today as I am currently riding the cotton pony. I gain 1-2 days before and feel like a water ballon the day of. I weigh the least the day I ovulate.

    QUESTION: WHEN DO YOU GAIN WEIGHT DURING TOM? IN THE BEGINNING OR TOWARDS WHEN IT IS ENDING?
    At the end, then it dissipates abput 3 days after its done.

    As for the "its not TOM, its the food u eat": I disagree. I've regimented my diet that week several times and stil retain water...like clockwork. Again each body is different and blanket diagnoses are a bad idea.
