    I don't think I really gain any... I got it today, amd my weigh in was today and the scale actually went down for the first time in 3 weeks!

    I range anywhere from 2 to 5 lbs. Shows on the scale a few days before and then usually back to normal 3 days into TOM. Everyone is different though, some girls retain before, during and a little after.

    I just don't weigh myself... It's not worth that little pain you get when you see the number go up, even if it's just TOM fault

    2 - 5lbs. I usually eat like **** when it's my TOM though.

    Just 1-2lbs for me.

    I used to just stay the same weight when I used BC, but since coming off three months ago I've seen a 1lb-ish gain each time.

    Well, I've only had TOM once since I started last month and before my weight stilled for 4 days and towards the end it stilled for 3. But otherwise, during the TOM, I've been losing. :)

    :wink: thanks for asking this - I am usually 3-5 lbs every month myself....hate it but it's life. I forced myself and got outside and did "something" as opposed to nothing so I am proud today...

    I always crave chocolate at that time, so hard to gauge what is water and what is lard.

    3-5 typically. I crave Wendys, there's no saving calories when that happens.. and my boyfriend fears for his life if he tries to tell me it's a bad idea. Haha
