What are your period weight gain numbers (women only obviously)

Sabine_Stroehm

Those days are gone, but, it was 2Lbs at ovulation for 2 days. 3-4Lbs two days before my period. That lasted until about day 5 of my flow.

My weight goes up 2 lbs a few days before TOM and it gets down when’s done only to be up again before Ovulation for a few days...SO annoying

I usually only go up a pound the day of and it goes away within a couple days of it ending. PITA... men don't realize how easy thy have it in this regard.

Yeah...but then, my husband has to deal with me during PMS, so I guess it evens out!

I don't know, I would take some bitchiness to not have to deal with the constant gains and a week of no or little losses! Haha

Lyle McDonald finally put out his Women's Book. It has several chapters dedicated to the menstruation cycle, including the impacts of estrogen and progesterone, and how the hormones impact water retention, weight loss, hunger, etc. I found it fascinating if you're interested in the science/biology behind it all.

I don't look anymore. I think it's about 5 lbs. I have chronic constipation too so there's no way I'm getting on the scare during that time.

Usually about 3-4 lbs, sucks *kitten*. Would a dude really come in here to comment despite this topic being about periods? Like dafuq?!

Was thinking the same.

Though there are some male trainers who might chime in. But still.

Typically 3-5, but I've had months where its been higher. I just avoid the scale during this time of the month.

Just dropped the extra 2lbs this morning after my period was over yesterday. I'm around 135lbs.

Last night I weighed my lowest night time weight since I began logging... looks like I should be expecting a huge drop off in weight very soon since my period is ending.

I don’t gain anything not sure why

I've gained up to 5 lbs before but it all came off after.

Because you're one lucky *kitten*.

;-p

I don’t think it’s luck I think most women get stronger craving like food with high salt content which could be why?

But trust me it makes up in other ways I get grouchy and mild depression....

I don't notice much of a difference either.

Two pounds up the week before. I start getting irritable and really hungry, and my face breaks out. The day before I tend to get really bloated and might put on one more pound. Then the day I start I tend to have bad cramps and sometimes diarrhea. And a two-three pound loss by the second day.

I'm not sure I notice much of a difference at all. My weight fluctuates by 3lbs or so often anyway, so maybe it is hidden in there. I am only just recently off the implant though so things are evening back out, perhaps it'll change. It's definitely never been to the extent that some ladies get it, though.

Generally 5 lb and it lasts till it's done.

I am generally up 3 lbs before & during then after it falls off. This month has been challenging as I went on vacation and set MFP to my maintenance calories (1640, but 1200 at a deficit). I averaged about 1600 calories for the week & know I did not gain!! and when I came back, right before my time, it showed that I’m up 3lbs, and now it’s the time and so just waiting for it to come off..joys of being a woman!! Talk about timing!!
