FOR THE WOMEN:

Is it true that we weigh more when we are on our periods? :laugh:

This is my second week having my period this month (I missed a couple birth control pills I use to regulate it...), but I am still losing weight.

When my period ends (probably in another 5-7 days), should I expect to weigh less? Basically, is it true we weight more when we are menstruating?

I've been on a diet for around 1.5 weeks so far, I believe. Thank you and cheers to Mr Red :drinker:

I've always weighed a little extra on it...our body's have more blood and stores extra water.

i'm not sure about it, i've never really tracked that before.

most women tend to retain more water on our period which can cause us to weigh more but i don't know that that applies to everyone

I gain 2 pounds every TOM. But it's fast gone 1 day or 2 after. Everyone is different.

I weigh a few pounds more during mine. I usually drop a few pounds after, but thats just me.

Oh no, I completely understand haha I am 4'9". I haven't listed my height, because I used to be 4'11" since I was 13 and I am 21 now. I caught very sick all last semester, and apparently I shrunk...:indifferent:

I have only had it once since starting on here. I gained 4 lbs on day one of TOM, just happened to be my weigh in day, i dropped it the next day, lost 1.5 lbs. My weigh in for the next week the scale didnt move, and then when i weighed in on the following week i dropped 1.5 lbs. I did in that time lose inches though. so measure yourself to see if you are still moving in the right direction.
