Anyone else have a really really tough time on thier period week?
It's not even something I'm really concious of to be honest. I just eat more and have so much more trouble sticking to my calorie allotment. It's frustrating.

Its my TOM this week and I just feel like crying!!!! I don't think I've lost hardly ANY weight this week (we will see tomorrow during weigh in) and my husband was sick of me complaining about it because I was weighing myself everyday so he hid our scale :-( and said I can have it tomorrow morning.. so I have NOOO clue if I'm gonna make it to my goal of losing 20lbs by tomorrow
I just feel like crying so yes... bad period week always here!

I understand your frustration. For this reason, I don't weigh myself until AF is completely gone! I bloat up a lot, so I know the scale isn't accurate. Why torment yourself? Don't weight while on your period if it makes you upset.
I was kind of depressed, looking at the scale yesterday morning and it said 211. I knew it was period/water-weight, but it was sad as it was my weigh-in day. So I don't know how much weight I lost (or gained?) last week. I'll just have to wait until next week to weigh-in.
I love a bit of chocolate at TOM, though. I'm okay with controlling it, its really the only time I treat myself to chocolate.
I don't typically have crazy cravings (every once in a while I do, though...salty things), but I KNOW weighing in during that week is not a good plan for me. I even skipped my weigh-in day yesterday because it's TOM. My jeans aren't even fitting well right now, so I know I better not look at what that scale says or I'll end up single-handedly raising Ben & Jerry's stock price today.
Usually I have sweet cravings during period week. Unfortunately I had Mirena inserted 3 weeks ago and its been period week on and off since. I really need to stay out of the kitchen until my hormones resolve this issue.
Your period week
for every 5 lbs lost!
= 5lbs lost (18 mets my goal)
