Hey all,

I thought I had a decent week last week but only lost .5 a pound. Could I weigh more because it's that time of month and I'm retaining water weight?

    Yes ma'am...good news is, you are still burning fat and calories, so when the water weight goes away your scale will be nicer to you.

    I would say absolutely.. and I am actually very relieved to see other women gain as much weight as I do!! I usually gain between 5-10 lbs.. its really ridiculous.. but eh.. such is life right?

    I gain 2-5 pounds without fail during my time of the month, but then when it's over I lose it right away. I don't weigh in during that week because I know it will be a false reading and will really depress me!

    Is it the week OF your period or the week BEFORE your period? Sometimes I hear about people gaining during their period, but then sometimes I hear about people gaining before their period too.. So which is it? Lol is it possible that it's both?

    Yup! That's why I'm actually happy with my .2 lb loss this week, often it goes up as much as 5 lbs. Usually a few days before.

    Everyone if different I know for myself I gain the most while I'm on my period. I slowly start about 2 days before but it will also take 2 days after I'm finished for all of the weight to drop back off. 8 pounds is a lot and it is very frustrating but I love seeing that number go down just days after and often then it will reflect my real weight loss.

    It varies from person to person.

    My weight goes up a couple days before my period and it doesn't drop for close to two weeks... very very frustrating; and measuring doesn't help because I'm bloated so all my measurements are off too.

    I am in the same boat! Stupid period! I usually gain the week before because I want to eat everything in sight. It sucks, I do so great for 2 weeks out of the month then struggle just to maintain for the other 2 weeks because I gain so much before I start then struggle to lose it after I start. :(

    Definitely, so far I've been lucky to lose during my TOM week still, but it is usually a very low number.
