I tend to gain a pound or two a few days before and shed it during/after TOM. OR, if I've been really good, I'll maintain through it and then drop a pound or two pretty quickly after. I always feel super bloated but (knock on wood) I don't tend to have terrible cravings.
I TOTALLY hear you though, on the fatigue and lack of motivation right before. Last Friday I was on the treadmill and had barely made it past a mile and was sweaty and winded and so ready to stop (I usually run at least 2.5). I couldn't figure out why. Hours later, I had my answer! And really, it's a good idea not to push it the first day of TOM, since you tend to be losing a lot of iron and other nutrients.
