how much more do you weigh on your period?

I don't gain during - but my weight refuses to drop in the 2 weeks running up to it. Once it's done I'll drop 2/3 pounds.
It's all water retention / water loss - I now know not to sweat it.
Same here. I'll "plateau" (not a plateau, but some people here freak if they go a week without losing) for a week or two, then TOM, then BOOM, 3-4 pounds down right after.
I now weigh every night before bed and every morning when I wake up. I've seen up to 2.5 pounds disappear overnight...it was a great illustration to me how much fluctuation comes from hydration and digestion!0 -

It's frustrating because DH is watching his weight too and he sees consistent losses but I'm pretty much "on hold" or if I don't watch it, gaining, for almost 2 weeks out of the month.
