okay, really there is a couple of questions i have. all this weekend it seemed like an extra hungry weekend for some reason. i haven't experienced that before. saturday i hung in there, but sunday was my downfall! i had a cheese burger and pot. chips! didn't know it was coming but the next morning i started my period! blah! well i gained 4 pounds! is that all in due to the burger and chips or does some of it have to do with starting my period? i'm new so haven't been on a period during medifast before. and if i didn't cheat would i gain weight while on my period usually? and was the super extra hunger because of my period? so many questions! sorry!

My wife says yes, and yes.

Many ladies on here attest to the weight gain due to TOM (probably not 4 lbs though), and also increased hunger can be part of that.
Just for future reference, when you feel more hunger... first drink water, then try a low cal snack, then try an extra replacement.
An extra shake or soup would be a much better choice than a cheeseburger and chips anyday.

I've gained 3 to 3.5 pounds from TOM and on the other hand I have lost 5 pounds during TOM.
