Mentstrual Cycle and Weight Gain
Replies
-
i got 3 pounds from it all time,all i do is not weigh myself that week and job done, the difficult bit is staying away from chocolate0
-
I gain 5-8 lbs. It does drop off a few days after I stop. Just life!0
-
I've only started checking my weight since I started here so I don't know my own fluctuations, but I wonder does the pill's hormones contribute at all. I know the general consensus is that it doesn't have the big effect that people thought, but the effect of oestrogen is to collect some weight...
Oh I don't know, I'm contradicting myself! But it's amazing the differences between one day and another and the effects on your weight0 -
yep you gain up to 10lbs due to water retention.0
-
Drink extra water! That will help flush out the extra water weight...I know that sounds weird, but it will!0
-
I gain 10lbs...you'll be fine. I weigh myself once a month, 4 days after my period so my body has time to go back to normal.0

-

-
I'm experiencing it... ALWAYS! :laugh:
A few days before my period, I began bloating like a balloon! No matter what I eat! My jeans becomes tight...
I try drinking more water, but it then I spend more of my night time in the wc not in my bed!:laugh: :laugh:
I weigh my self when my period ends.
I gain about 4-5 pounds.0 -
oh gawd i have the same problem! i worry a lot coz my tummy swells a lot and im thinking hangon how can this be possible! *scratching my head* so now i just eat normally and wait till it passes lol0
-
I don't know if anyone else is having this issue but I just got off mine two weeks ago and now have started again. Also have ballooned up like 4 lbs not too happy!0
-
I can gain up to 7lbs during that time. I sometimes give into my cravings and binge on some bad food and I still manage to lose maintain at the end of my cycle and I lose it all again. I have lost 68lbs so it must not be hurting me to do it0
-
NO SCALE DURING MENTSTRUAL! It will make you A lot happier trust me!0
-
I always weigh more during my period. I just ignore what the scale says that week, because the next week I see a drop of several pounds. Nothing to worry about.0
-
Also, remember that if you've been remaining within your calorie limits most of the time, there's no way that that's real weight gain. It's just fluids.0
-
I weigh more during that part of my cycle too, but it isn't actually a 'weight gain' any more than other random fluctuations are, so I ignore it.0
-
You tend to burn the most calories the FIRST week of your cycle - which would be when you get your period. Thus, finally making some sense of why you're hungrier that first week......... The week after my period I experience the biggest loss - mostly because that first week is nothing more water weight and the dreaded bloat.
Don't get frustrated - and don't weigh yourself anymore until at least three days after your friend moves on............0 -
Gained like 4IB could easily take a hammer to the scales trust me!!! I knw it's TOTM any day had cramping since Sunday sooo frustrating especially if your addicted to frequent weighing just wish it would hurry up n do one0
-
Taking dandelion root is brilliant for reducing water retention :-)0
-
Oh yes.... I usually put on around 3lbs and cravings oh boy all i want to eat is the junk your not suppose to eat!
But it comes off just as quick as it went on by the time its finished.0
