How much weight do you women typically "gain" during that TOM? I am being disciplined in my eating and exercise...but just had a 3# jump over night. I'm not freaking out...but just trying to anticipate where I should be next week. Just wondering what is typical. Thanks

It varies with me from month to month. I don't even to be in TOM week and show a weight gain. It usually depends on my water intake...along with things that I eat/drink that cause me to retain fluids. (porkrinds, wine, salty foods...etc).

I will gain anywhere from 2-8 pounds.

hope this helps..

I don't know if i'm normal but I fluctuate approx 3-4 lbs from morning to night and my TOM can fluctuate from 5-7 lbs.

I am on birth control though and that might be keeping the water weight on me.

During my first period of low carbing I found that after a few months I very rarely gained anything (having gained anything up to 7lbs previously!).

After a break of a few months, I've now returned, and was pleased to find that during my last TOM I only gained a pound. Just lucky, I don't know, but long may it continue. Have also found that all pre-TOM symptoms seem to have gone as well

Yep Demi - same on the PMS - awesome! That alone is reason to stick with thie WOE for me!

Thanks for the posts ladies! : )

Hi
But I am also on BC pills , plus I cheat around that TOM. But I notice that after it's over I not only lose the weight that I gained but another pound usally goes w/ it. But I'm in the 2nd phase of Atkins so I'm losing a pound a month.
