    So funny that I found this thread. Was thinking about this the last week. I joined the Friday Weigh-ins group a little over a month ago and had two visits with Aunt Flo during this time. I weigh myself twice a week, usually Monday and Friday and noticed that I pick up 3-4 pounds during PMS and all through it, then drop most of it afterwards. I eat healthy all during that time and try avoid any binge snacking.

    The extra poundage sucks because I feel like I'm starting all over again with my weight loss was Flo leaves. I do take Midol but only when I have cramps. Maybe the trick is take it consistently through the week?

    I weigh weekly and take B/C pills. I find I have the opposite weight affect. For the 3 weeks I take the pills, I am about 2 pounds heavier than the week I am off and having a period. ( I drop 2 pounds in about 36 hours and then regain 2 pounds in about 36 hours after starting taking the pills) I sort of look forward to the week off to set a new goal weight for my next 3 weeks. It is funny because I don't feel bloated normally, but I must be.

    Sorry Guys, this is a questions for the Ladies... So ladies I'm curious, How much do u gain when it's ur time of the month? I know everyone is different I'm just curious to see how different we all are! How do u deal with ur cravings? And working out, bc I tend to shy away during my time of the month. Thanks!

    I usually gain a few pounds of water weight. In terms of cravings, forget it, lol. My cravings are horrid the week before my period. I am absolutely ravenous, and if I don't allow myself eat more I even get light headed and get the shakes...not to mention what it does to my mood. It's been that way my whole adult life. :( I usually go into maintenance the week before my period to allow myself more calories. Otherwise, I am miserable and so is everyone around me, lol. Also, going into maintenance that week saves me from binging and actually gaining weight. I would rather maintain for a week then binge for two days straight towards the end of the week when I've lost all self control and gain weight.
