How many lbs do you ladies usually gain during that time..?

lollie1285

You all know which time I'm speaking of. That lovely one week a month. Woke up this morning and I gained a pound of my weight back. I usually don't weigh myself often and now that I have been, I take notice of every little fluctuation. Just curious about how it varies with everyone.

I don't start mine until next week but I've already gained some water weight.. normally around like a pound or two. If I drink enough water to flush that out then I stay at the weight I currently am.

MelissR75

I feel as if I gain 7-8 pounds. It's miserable. The best is when it is over people ask me if I've lost weight...lol!!!

HartJames

As much as 9 pounds!

Nataliethin81

Usually 3-4 lbs. It comes right off when it's over.

mmelaniewalters

yeah its usually a couple of pounds for me .. course it could because all i do at that time is eat crap ! :P

AUPerry

Around 2 or 3.

aimgirl

It can be anywhere from 2-5 lbs for me. I try to avoid the scale for about 2 weeks out of the month because of it!

wiggleroom

If I somehow manage to resist the salt & sugar cravings, I gain 2 to 3. If I don't ... then I've been known to gain 5 or 6! The 2 or 3 come off right away at the end...the 5 or 6 tend to hang around longer! (Duh.)

so far only 1.6, but I seemed to have dropped it already and mine is due to rear it's ugly head this weekend.

Ellem86

I don't usually gain anything but I don't see a loss on the scale on the either x

EHuntRN

2-3 for me...and it usually takes about 3-4 days afterwards for me to see my pre TOM weight and by then Im hoping to have lose a few extra pounds...started my TOM on exactly the 1st and Im up 2 pounds...

I find I was weighing myself way to often. I didn't seem to lose any weight. Once I started to only weigh myself once a week I started to notice the difference.

ANewLucia

Usually anywhere from 2-5lbs. This last month I only gained a pound though, that was unusual...

drowningsea

I don't usually gain anything but I don't see a loss on the scale on the either x

Same for me.. I didn't gain this last time, but I was stuck at the same weight all week, then I dropped 2 lbs right away.

lil_missfit

I may gain 2....ORRRRR....not lose anything for two weeks.....my weight will stay the same for two weeks (one for ovulation and the other for the actual week) which means only 2 weeks out of the month I lose weight.....uuuuughhhh!!! .......frustrating.......

AllyS7

I start gaining about 4 days before anywhere from 1-4 lbs.

Ezada

Ugh, mine is horrible. I can gain anywhere from 3-13lbs depending on how poorly I am eating, how much water my body decides to retain. I am hoping now that I am more active it won't be quite as miserable as 13lbs.

The only good thing is it comes off in a day or two.

laylabelle

Around 3-4lbs gain. Can lose it overnight though.

I'm definitely avoiding the scale until this time next week. I was SO bummed when I saw the increase this morning because yesterday morning I was almost down to 131. I was complaining to my mother and then she mentioned that I'm going to get my period tomorrow and it all made sense.

TiffanyW1014

As much as 9 pounds!

Me also. I will gain anywhere from 8-10 pounds that week. It is very frustrating!!

cdngirl71

I didn't gain anything, I actually lost 1.7 lbs at my last weigh in during it. Doesn't seem to affect me.

lollie1285

Oh how I envy you!

casey12105

2-5lbs. I try to not weigh myself during that week

iarelis

To me is not only THOSE days, it happens every day. The only one that sees it is my husband because he can see the weight in the morning and at night. 5 pounds is what I usually get during that time, nobody else believes me. 1 to 2 every day. Make sure you weigh yourself at the same time of the day.

mskon

4-5 pounds. This time around I've felt less fluffy because of my extra fluid intake. She's currently visiting so hopefully I'll see a few come off by this time next week!

hsnider29

I've never gained during that time and I actually don't have a problem losing. The only time I see water retention show up on my scale is if I'm eating bad and it goes away in a couple of days. I guess I'm kind of an anomoly but I've been blessed with light periods all my life.

cem789

this month i gained 6 on the first day!! went from 108 to 114, weird, still trying to lose all the water weight now

stefraab

susyseq
