Girl, I'm in the same exact spot as you right now. I've just been trying to drink a ton of water. Salt won't help so try to cut back.

I lost 2 lbs last week and gained them back! UUUGGGHHH!!!

I will wait until next week and weigh again..it better go away!

There is a tea you can get - made with dong Quai root - it is very safe, and it acts as a great diuretic to reduce the bloating - they also make PMS teas in health food stores that help clear you out a bit... i use them all the time, i get horribly bloated when I'm PMSing and in the 1st few days - try them - they work very well!!!

thanks I'll have to try it.

I have never been like this. For me every month is something different: either emotinal, crabby, etc., but never been like this.

Re: Help -- I'm sooooo swollen

I was super crabby the last few days and now everything hurts..I managed to drag myself to the gym yesterday and did heavy weights (thanks Snowboardgirl) and now my thighs hurt.

So, basically I'm miserable. Sorry I'm not helping, just venting away with you.

Grapefruit. grapefruit grapefruit, Everytime i want to loose weight i try to eat at least half a grapefruit a day, it works so well. They say it is a natural diuretic... also say it works to lower your cholesterol. hummn
