You, my friend, aren't a woman. How dare you respond to a Ladies ONLY thread. :flowerforyou:0 -
I always wonder what women's fascination is with this subject. "HALP!! I'm bloated, weigh more, and crave stuff!! What do??" Good grief. :huh:0

Because, despite my lack of female plumbing, this is such common knowledge that I am shocked that a new thread is created hourly about it.0 -
And the monthly period continues to baffle the masses....0

I usually bloat out at that time of the month, haven't really weighed myself around that time to know. Something I think I will keep an eye on.0

Congrats on getting your first period :flowerforyou:0

I don't know about the rest of you, but I actually lose 9.6 lbs every month when I'm on mine. And every month, it is just as shocking as when it happened the month before.0

Boobs. Glorious, beautiful, near pre-baby status boobs.
That's where mine goes.
I get to borrow amazing knockers for a week or so (thank goodness it hits before TOM starts), but then I have to return them.
I'd totally take a 2 pound weight gain permanently if I could keep those puppies!!!0 -
^^ Must not have gotten the Ladies ONLY memo ...
Oh wait0 -

for me, working out gets rid of cramps. so this is the first time u noticed u weigh more on it? um-okay!:mad:0

I gain 5+ lbs starting a week out. Drink lemon water throughout the day...helps with the bloat. Also if you drink a cup of warm water with lemon in it you'll get an added kick. Sometimes I even throw in some ginger. Really "primes the pump" for the day. I digest food better when I kick the day off with that elixir.0

Before I had children I'd gain 10lbs during my period....no joke. Ofcourse I wasnt ever on time. Now that I've had two children I gain 3 to 5lbs every period and I'm like clock work.0
-
I definitely gain when the monthly visitor arrives, but it usually varies. Some months it may only be 1 lb and other months it could be 5+ lbs.
Normally, it doesn't bother me, but it agitated the tar out of me today. Go figure that on the day I finish Level 1 of the 30 Day Shred and try to check in on my weight and measurements, the "visitor" decides to show up. So, between the bloating and weight gain, I have no clue. :grumble:0 -
Glad to have found this post :flowerforyou: eased my mind. I gained a couple of pound and Aunt Flo is the culprit, I'm cool with that0
-
Thank god for this because I have been loosing a pound a day and I started my period this morning and weighed myself and it shows me 3lbs heavier! I almost cried.0
-
Yes. I can always tell when it's coming 'cause I seem to bloat & gain a little weight, from 2-4 pounds it seems. But once it starts or ends, it disappears. Makes me dislike periods haha.0
-
I put on a lot of weight, as well. I don't even have to get on the scale to tell - my clothes get tighter and I feel like my face gets a little chubbier! So I'm not sure how much I put on but I would guess anywhere from 5-7 lbs at least. And like everyone else, a day or two afterwards the pounds drop off and I feel "normal" again!0
-
Me, too!!! I lost 8.2 pounds last week, and recently my weight has been creeping up by almost a pound a day...but I am expecting my TOM anyday now so I'm chalking it up to that. I expect to see a big drop afterwards. Another good reason not to rely on the # on the scale, but the look/feel of your body!0
-
Its weird but I actually lose a little bit of weight during my period..even though the bloating etc does happen
the weight loss is short lived though..as I normally go back to my normal weight a few days later0 -
No, I swear I feel so abnormal in this one area!
For the past six months since I joined MFP, I have noticed a pattern in my weight loss.
I lose 6-7 lb per month. 1 lb per week for 3 weeks and then 2-4 lb all at once in the 5 days leading up to my period. I don't go back up OR lose during the days I'm actually menstruating, but after my period it's 1 lb per week again.0 -
omg yes i hate it i gain 3 pounds0
-
I feel so much better reading posts,I started today n gained three ins from yesterday0
-
I weigh at least 3lbs. more the week BEFORE my period. And yes, continue to exercise even if it's just a brisk walk.0
-
I always end up bloated, I've somewhat gained the measurements I lost last weekend and this, roll on to the end of the period!0
-
I normally weigh heavier during my period and I FEEL IT, I am always bloated and nothing fits! With that being said the end of my period always feels amazing, I lose that pound or two I gained and then some! I would suggest not changing YOUR routine during your period. I have always found that no matter how crappy I feel or how crampy I am the second I start working out I instantly feel better. I will say it is hard getting to the gym when you dont feel rite though =[ keep up the good work and just keep truckin =]0
