I usually hide in the basement during those times. I hide alot because I have a wife and 2 teenage daughters.

This is very very common, is hormonal, and happens to women whether or not they're on Atkins. Each woman is different, of course, but typically some water weight is gained in the days leading up to one's period. After TOM, the weight usually disappears. I don't know if you're a member of the women's forum or not, but in it are many posts that go into greater detail about TOM.

LOL @ Perry!

I loose during TOM so everybody is different. Typically if you do gain some during it's just from water retention. If your sticking to the diet it will come off right after!
