Just curious, how much do you usually put on when it's that time of month? This past time I think I put on about 2 or 3lbs, but after it was all over I lost about 4.2lbs or something like that. I went to my weight doc yesterday and when I stepped on the scale they were like "WOW that much in one week?" I had to explain I was on my monthly cus I never lose that much in one week lol unless it's that time. So how about you?

    Like PP's it can vary from 1 - 4lb. But it is always gone within about 4 days.

    8-10lbs. I retain water like a *****. Most of the time I'll gain eight, and by the end of the week Im down nine.

    Same here. I thought I was the only who retained that bad. I saved three pair of my old work pants for that week. (bigger size) When I'm home I wear my yoga pants with a really long big shirt if I have to go out.:bigsmile:

    i crave sweet and salty like crazy, and its very hard not to give in. so on top of retaining, i dont feel like doing anything (i feel really sick sometimes (and because i am normally low in iron really sleepy too)) i dont have as much will power as normal.

    its just a all around bad time of the month for me...

    I'm the same as mem50 & cweiss14. The last time I was PMSing and stepped on a scale, I was up 9.4 lbs. and I fuuuhhhhhreaked! That was the most I've been up since I started tracking my weight. I thought I was going to pass out. Of course, I was to the point where I wanted to go to Academy Sporting Goods store and buy myself a salt lick then lock myself in the closet until it was all over. LOL
