Weight in question ***woman only

GINAvsGINA

I do weigh-in, my weigh-in last week was when my period was beginning and yes I was bloated but the scale was still down 2lbs. I try to drink lots of water even though I feel bloated.

I weigh daily cycle or not..

i was just talking about this today with a friend! i'm currently during that dreaded TOM and i've maintained my weight throughout it. nothing lost, nothing gained. not even a few ounces. i'm curious to see how far, if at all, the numbers on the scale will go down once it's gone. for me, i still weigh just because i want to check in and see where i stand. for u, do what u feel most comfortable with. if u know ur going to get discouraged by a weight increase, even if u know it's probably water retention and/or bloating, don't do it. if u can handle, go right ahead!

Drinking extra water doesn't do a thing to help me and my bloat, I drink about 13 glasses a day and still bloat. Blech

I don't weigh myself daily, but if I am up 5-7 lbs..I know it's coming.

No I stay off the scale for a week before and about two days after my cycle.

I weigh in, just to see what the scale says, but I definitely don't enjoy the jump in numbers. Nonetheless, a gain of 2-6 pounds during your TOM is normal. Don't worry, it will go away :happy:

I weigh myself regardless, including today, in fact! Even if it fluctuates, I like to keep a steady log of my weight so I can start each week over and put it behind me, regardless of loss or gain. Always looking forward-

this is perfect!

example; two weeks ago I just knew I was going to gain-I stayed the same, last week I was up almost a pound. This week I was down 5!! Not quite sure how that happened....? But no matter what log your weight record your food and keep going. :happy:

I weigh so that I can know how much I usually retain. I've learned that I tend to gain between 2-3lbs of water weight around my period so I never stress it since I know it will disappear.

I just think its interesting to see the fluctuations. I don't let it bother me since I've been trending downward since I started this.

I like to weigh daily.

same here, i'll gain a bit before and during and then right after it all will drop off. it sucks that it takes a month to feel that glory, but it is what it is :P

I weigh in every day and I hate those ups. However, I plot them (or my weight tracker app does) so I can see the patterns over time and not be discouraged by the upswings.

I weigh in daily no matter what. I understand that I will fluctuate,and it just motivates me to work harder!

ladylaine

I WEIGHT WHEN I AM NOT ON MENS AND THEN I ALSO WEIGHT 3 DAYS AFTER DUE TO WATER AND BLOATED WEIGHT

I weigh-in every day, first thing in the morning and before I get dressed. I really believe it helps to motivate me throughout the day. If I'm down a little... I'm encouraged! If I'm up a little ... I can reflect on what I did (or didn't do) the day before that may have had some impact. VERY IMPORTANT... keep drinking lots of water! It helps to keep the body flushed out and keeps you from retaining excess water. Good luck!!

I don't weigh myself during the TOM. LOL! I just skip a week.

I weigh in everyday. I know that water weight/PMSing and every other little fluctuation can effect it. BUT it gives me the momentum to try harder for that day if I see the number go up at all. BTW: I found out that I gain about 7 POUNDS the week before I get my period. CRAZY! But I usually drop 5.5 lbs. once I actually begin my period and once it ends, I'm usually down even more then what I started at. It helps me to know exactly what my body is doing and keep me going even through the ups and downs.

I'm the same way. I know it's from my period though, so I don't worry about it. However, even though I weigh myself probably everyday, I don't log it on here everyday, so I don't see those ups and downs on the line graph here. If I have a drop and then a gain here it's because I made bad choices, not because of mother nature.

crashta

I gain 3 lbs just before and for the first 2 days of my period as well. I still weigh myself every other day but don't freak out when I know I am just about to get my period. By the time my cycle is done, I am either back to my original weight, or if it's a good week, down a pound!

WhatAgirl_

honestly I weight myself once a month because I work hard reasonably for my weight loss. f I weight myself very often I wont see a lot of result consequently I get discouraged so instead I weight myself every month and see pleasing results!!

sly0phillips

I do it in the hopes it shows higher because I know once the swelling and water weight leave after the TOM I will get to see it drop. Its like a fake out.

porffor

I made a pact with myself 6 years ago not to ignore my weight - I had got to my heaviest through ignoring my weight. So I weigh daily.. sometimes it bugs me mostly it doesn't. I know I go up with TOM and that is acceptable. it goes eventually - if I don't hit the chocolate! lol

getfitnow33

For me i weighed in when i was on my cycle and i weighed 257 3 days later when i checked again off my cycle i weighed 253 so i believe im gonna wait til im off my cycle to weigh in. I check once a week because i dont wanna get too obsessive about it but i want to keep up with it so once a week works for me. But there is a diff for me with my tom.

I use to but it makes me depressed and not want to keep going. I'm going to have to only weight in weekly and skip this week.

krevill

I have now had my TOM for about 40 days due to having a hormone implant. I have still lost through this time but I do wonder if I may have lost more if I didn't have it .

SparkleShine

Yes, I do. Usually it's up by about 4 pounds but I try to keep that in mind and don't let the number bother me....too much!:happy:

djkamin60

I no longer have this issue, but don't weigh in everyday. Weigh in days are monday, but do check it on the weekend to see how I'm doing. The daily rollercoaster of weighing in is not good for me.

lisettem831

My favourite time to weigh in is when my period starts! LOL I am not sure if this happens to anyone else, but I seem to lose the most amount of weight DURING my period -- its the couple weeks before that I tend to hold onto weight. Which really sometimes gets discouraging...
