Just curious if anyone else sees some fluctuations in their scale during their time of the month!

Its so disheartening to step on the scale and see that it says more than it should! :(

    I used to worry about this, but a personal trainer at my gym says it is normal to see fluctuations of up to 8 lbs! I actually don't record my weigh in that week. I just make sure it goes back down the next week.

    Sometimes I gain 2 or 3 pounds, sometimes stay the same, but I almost NEVER see a decrease for that week! But the next week usually sees a bigger decrease in normal as I lose the water weight + see the loss I would have had if not for AF.

    This week is that time for me. Today I weighed in at exactly what I weighed last week, despite eating well and exercising last week.

    I paid close attention during my last TOM and the scale wouldn't move, but I'm just glad I didn't gain. The following week, I dropped 3lbs and that NEVER happens to me.
