Thanks for the info!0 -
Wierdly enough I lose more during my period, I just feel like I gained fat in some places but the scale says I didn't.0

I have been noticing the week before and first couple of days I go into a stall or put on a little. I have been on Mirena for 1 yr and 3mths now and Dr. said they should go away but they haven't yet. :sad: Mine are only a few days long, which is better than what it was.0
-
Absolutely! But then I lose more afterwards!
Bloating is a bit of a problem, but I minimize it with drinking lots of water. I can add up to 5 pounds anyway! Crazy!0 -
the week before my period i always get super depressed and also when im on it and so i dont feel good and dont want to work out as much so i always gain weight but usually not too much0
-
I get really cranky and swell up like a balloon. People have asked me when I was expecting during that TOM. Generally makes me want to sit around and eat and not work out, so I gain about a pound or two.0

Cravings and weight gain are usually the tell tale sign when its coming for me. I have to workout the few days when it comes because I would feel terrible. I hate feeling bloated. It seems to have gotten worse with age.0
-
i think i gain a pound of zits on my chin alone. :ohwell:0
-
I always find that I feel so bloated despite how much water I drink to flush out. I too feel a bit down in the dumps so I don't want to exercise or anything like that either. Once it's done, everything seems to balance out and I feel myself again.0

I've been curious about the same. I seem to have no loss or a slight gain (1-2 lbs) during that week. The following week is typically the best loss of the month. Let's hope that pattern continues! LOL0

Im on my period now and Im glad I found this thread! I gained a pound back and im craving everything!!! EVERYTHING!! And Im trying so hard not to cave but atleast going to the gym is never a question! I knew something was weird a couple days ago all of sudden all these craving then not losing weight then gaining a pound...it just didnt seem right! the BAM! oh *kitten* Its my time of the month! I am happy that its just that because I thought I was slipping there was no return lol! PMS.....tsk tsk0

I haven't lost not one pound- my period is super irregular after having my baby (he's now 9 months) & I haven't had a period ever since jan. & were in late march! Help btw how can I get that cool icons or ruler looking like that stated how much youve lost?0
-
Do you find that it's harder to lose weight during your period? I feel so bloated and I think I probably retain water, too. If you do notice a stall in loss, how long does it take for the weight to start dropping again?0
-
Ugh saaaaammmeee.0
-
Ya it does. I will either go to TOPS and Turtle or I'll gain a little, then the next week I will have a huge weight-loss and win a prize.0

Just in the last 24 hours, I've lost 2 1/2 pounds without really changing my diet. I also was baking the whole weekend and taking care of my 16yr old sister with a 5th percentile concussion (really bad concussion). And snuck a few cookies:(. I encourage other ladies to take advantage of the week and diet during your period. Also I recommend a 200,300,700 Breakfast lunch and dinner diet because if you are conservative during the day, you can eat almost anything you could want with those 700 ca. (Which I have used off and on during the summers.0
-
Yes. I retain water both right before/during my period, as well as during ovulation. It sucks and messes with your mind a bit, but it does come back down.0
-
I gain up to 5 pounds during this time. I have found that if I drink a lot of water it's not as horrible. I drop the 5 lbs plus some about 3-4 days after my period has been gone.0
-
Does it affect my weight loss? Overall, no - I've still managed to drop the weight/fat/several sizes despite my period showing up every month. Does the scale go up a few pounds during that time? Yep, always - but it's not fat gain, and it's only temporary, so no worries.0
-
I'm so glad to have read all the posts....I think its the first time I have weighted myself while on my period. Oh man I was upset gained 2 Lbs but now I will keep calm and continue excercising.0
