So... How does your weight loss go during 'that time of the month'? Water weight gain? Anything funky? Just curious.

Most of the time I am 3 lbs heavier those days. I can gain up to 5 lbs and then its gone when I am done.

week before I'm due I generally gain a pound or two and then as soon as I start the gained weight disappears.

I haven't gained anything during my TOM.

I didn't lose much during that week but the next week I had a much bigger loss than usual, I'm attributing it to my TOM

Weight gain + abdominal cramps when I run on the threadmill...

I also gain weight during that time, it sticks with me till the end of the cycle and away it goes, i take a water pill once a day to help with the "blah" feeling i have when i do gain the water weight

I usually gain about 2lbs or stay the same for 2 wks (one wk before) but usually seen a drastic 3lb or so drop after.

During TOM last month, I didn't gain any but definitely stayed steady on the same weight. After TOM left, I was 2 lbs lighter so the water retention was definitely something I had to deal with. I also forced myself to work out and stick with my cal plan, so I think it all worked out....

Im in a real minority and nothing special happens this time. I guess that might change with age.

Funny you should ask, I'm there right now. I weighed myself yesterday and was up 1.4 lbs. since last weigh-in one week ago. I just couldn't stop eating yesterday and was WAY over my calories. I haven't exercised in the past 2 days due to cramps and general all-round feeling lousy. I am SO disappointed in myself. Feeling better today so I'm hoping to get a workout in. It just sucks!
