AMEN!

I'm about 5'7, and my goal is 130. 3.5 lbs away!

Working out during ToM always seems to help me with a variety of symptoms (bloat, cramps, irritability, fatigue). With that said, however, my symptoms aren't severe enough to stop me from going-- they just require a little more get-up-and-go than other times in the month.

feel free to add :)

adding! :)

Exercise/long walks in the neighborhood (I live in Mississippi so the winter has been kind) have helped me immensely. My fiancé has tried to convince me to start meditating, but I am the type of person who has a hard time sitting still and shutting off my mind. Just TRYING to meditate makes me stressed out. I've found that…

Let's be friends!!!

feel free to add me! the more friends the merrier!

I second the spoonful of peanut butter-- just enough to get that edge off.

Yep! It is usually only a day of ToM for me and coincides with the day that I am extra fatigued. I've found that exercising, even if for twenty minutes, helps get me out of that eat-the-whole-damn-box-of-cookies moment as well as lifting the fatigue. Sometimes I just have to eat an extra serving of cookies, though, and…

27, i've lost ~50 lbs since i started and am working on those last few as well as toning. All are welcome to add me :)

Greek yogurt, banana, some muesli/granola, and a drizzle of honey!!

I agree with water. I try to drink some water before I snack to make sure I'm actually hungry-- plus it tends to help me with those craving feelings. Especially when I put some lemon in it.

Trader Joes has a good version that comes in individual cups with pour-in granola, oats, honey, etc. Not too calorie heavy and perfect for a healthy dessert. I'm partial to the pomegranate one.

if it fits, you sips? (cheesy i know) i suppose it depends on how much you want the milk and flavorings vs. black coffee. a tall (12oz) "skinny" hazelnut latte (nonfat milk, sugar free syrup, espresso) runs around 100 cals. worth it to me every once and a while.

spicy tuna! try to stay away from the fried versions that a stuffed with cream cheese and/or mayo. Also, if you're not watching your sodium, a nice cup of miso is a good addition.

I've lost around 50 lbs so far, and want to lose another 4-- really focusing more on body comp. Gotta love those weights and squats ;)
