It depends. But if you ate okay DURING tom, 9 times out of ten, it's just water weight and will be off in a day or two.

I average up 2 due to water retention and such, but it comes right off. This is part of your learning curve, if you stay on program, you will know how your body reacts, everyone's different.

Make sure you drink your water, it helps.

Yep, I tend to be up about 2. But I get my gain about 2 weeks before TOM, and absolutely no change during/after. I go back down the week after I see the gain.

yeah a couple lbs is pretty normal but everyone's different. and like shari said, as long as you're still eating the same then it's probably just water weight and nothing to worry about. i've heard others say they don't even bother to weigh themselves that week because they know their bodies well enough to know what's gonna happen.

That's alright, Moobunny! I knew what they were talking about but couldn't figure out exactly what TOM meant either! 'Course, I haven't had one for 12 years now. It was the silver lining in my breast cancer chemo when I was 44.

I usually stay the same or and up anywhere from 0-1lb. I usually have my gain the week before TOM.

I'll gain anywhere from 2-5 lbs the week before TOM, then the week of, I lose it all (plus some).
I think I'm kind of weird because it's my favorite week of the month because I always lose HUGE amounts that week!
