Hi all, I struggle with determining what I actually weigh. I suffer from a lot of PMT and water retention, some months for 3 weeks in a row, others a few days. I go down to 61.1kg post time of the month then it creeps back up to 61.9 then 62.2/5kg. How do I tell what I actually weigh?

There isn't one number. Your weight varies throughout each day, and changes as a result of many other factors. Relying solely on what the scales say is not helpful.0

How often do you weigh yourself?0

I also get crazy pre-menstrual water retention, one time I was carrying 10lbs of water for nearly a week! so I only weigh myself once a month, the day after my period ends. That's what I consider my 'actual' weight.0

I have so many different weights in a week i dont rely on the scale; i rely on how my clothes fit me lol. If you have this problem often try measuring something else. Like body fat? Or inches?0

www.weightgrapher.com AND www.trendweight.com AND tape measurements can be your friends!0

You actually weigh between 61.1and 62.5kg.
When you lose a bit more you may weigh between 58 and 59.5kg.
Get used to having a weight range or maintenance will drive you bonkers!0
