    Default Tell me, weight gain during TOM??

    Hey everyone!

    Just curious...how much weight does everyone gain before or during TOM??? I am a bit discouraged that I am not fitting into jeans that fit me last week (they fit they are just a bit tight around the stomach region) and I think I know that I am bloated but need confirmation that us women GAIN an bit monthly.... I hope it goes away...argh! I have been following plan to the T. Anyone want to shake me and tell me to relax??? hehe.

    Cheers,
    Krystyne

    Krystyne, it's been AGES since I have had to worry about TOM but some people are reporting a little less bloat and less of the other TOM symptoms on the Green Tea Challenge. 4 cups (32 oz.) day, either regular or decaf green tea. Splenda is OK in it, cream is not.

    Oh yeah, 3-5lbs about 4 days before I start. . . also a couple during ovulation. An interesting additional effect. . . during the hormonal flux of ovulation, I really can't stand my DH. Heeheeeheeeeeeeee

    I do something really weird. I gain a day or two before, lose two or three days into it and gain again a day or two after. It's really weird.

    It could be that my first gain and loss is water and my second gain is from eating not-so-great foods...even though they fit into my plan. (chocolate and peanut butter and chocolate peanut butter Atkins bars are the things I crave during my TOM.)
