Do you bother weighing yourself if you're on your period?

I don't personally see the point because our weight will fluctuate around this time any way but I'm still curious!

Yes. My weight fluctuates every day of my life,period or no period. I like seeing how it fluctuates so I capture the data.15
-
Yes. I can even look back through my weight trend to see my cycle:

^^same. I find that alcohol and bad food decisions effect my weight more than my hormones!5

Same here. I repeat over and over that hormones will affect a woman's weight but for me, personally, they don't affect my weight too much. It really varies from woman to woman.1 -
Yes, because I usually lose when I've actually got it. I tend to see a marginal gain on the scale a week or so before. (In the past, during TOM, I had, to put it delicately... stomach issues. Or a lot more calories out than usual. Lately, that's been reduced, either thanks to weight loss, strengthening my core muscles, or both.)0

Yes. My weight goes up a couple days before and then down the day I start. I don't pay much attention emotionally to the fluctuations, but I do like seeing it go down.1
-
Yes, as others have said.0
-
Mine are due in 5 days. I'm not going to bother weighing myself again until they start. Fluctuations, water weight etc etc Do not interest or fascinate me, especially when they are way higher than normal.3

Good god no! I can bloat up to 10lb in water weight. The upside is that I have a revved up metabolism during that time, so after I have a really big weight drop.1
-
I weigh every morning no matter what. I use a trend app and don't put much emotion in the daily weigh in I use the trend as my importantthing.2
-
Yes, as lately I would almost never be able to weigh myself! (My doctor told me it's quite common nearing the menapause) but it doesn't seem to make any difference anyway.0

It looks like I'm the only one who doesn't haha. I have a tendancy to get scale obsessive and I find that weighing myself during shark week stresses me out more than it should. I try to just mentally prepare myself for the inevitable food cravings and make smart decisions and weigh in once its over. Ive only been doing this for the past few months and Im really happy with my decision and havent gained weight staying off the scale.2

Nope, I don't.0

Yup.. I can tell when I'm about to start. Cranky, stomach issues, cravings, and the dreaded scale report.
"WHAT! Four pounds! How the thespian did I gain four bloody pounds in... wait.."
*Checks calendar*
"WHAT! Son of a bisquit! Do you have to show up EVERY month!"
*Throw calendar, storm to the fridge, yank out anything delicious looking, throw out to the dogs before I eat it.."9 -
I only weigh once a week and if it is PMS week I just skip it.1
-
Yes, the first or second day of my period is typically my lowest weight of the month. It's really helpful for maintenance being able to trust that number. But besides that, weighing everyday is one of the things I do to keep myself mindful -- having to re-lose weight you've already lost feels bad.2
-
Yes to track how much water weight I gain and lose over that time period so I know its water and don't panic. Now I know I gain 5lbs on average every cycle. Anymore than that then I need to watch what Im eating better.0
-
Hello no.
But I don't even weigh myself anymore in general.1 -
No.. I gain 3 pounds of water the week before, and it stays until my period is over. Pointless to weigh.0

Word. I've been bleeding for 10 days. I'm depressed, bloated, fatigued. I don't need to see the scale on top of that.
Also...it'd be nice if my period ever ended because I am starting to feel like I'm dying.1
