    Yes and on top of that you'll usually find you've put on a few pounds but thats just water retention and bloating you'll find it goes once your off your period

    Yes, for sure! I am guaranteed to put on 5lbs 3 days before my period. I then stay on my period for a week, and 2 days after it is over the water is gone. It get's discouraging sometimes, but it's also nice to know it's what is normal for me. Before I realized what was going on, I would see a weight gain on the scale and get discouraged and that would start a binge. Now I know better...stick to eating healthy and exercising and it'll be gone in a week!

    I know my scale is at a standstill or going up 3-5lbs...currently just gotta work it out and you will lose your bloating feeling and water weight. keep moving keep moving and do what you do for your menu. good luck!

    The week before is when I see a little water weight increase. Remember that the leaner you are, the less fat there is to store that pre-menstrual water!

    I also get the munchies really bad that pre-week and have to make really good food choices.

    Always surprising to me how the very day my period starts, all gets back to normal :-)

    Best wishes on your health and wellness journey!

    Absolutely! Some times I can gain as much as 5 pounds just before mine! And that's following a weight loss plan that had me dropping 3 pounds a week! It's water weight, and really nothing to worry about. It will come off in a few days!

    My weight is always up during my cycle. I've noticed that right before my period I go down then I shoot up around 2-4 lbs when my period starts and I don't go back down until 7-10 days after my period ends, which is when my fertility decreases (I can tell this using period tracker app). It's very frustrating. It's like 1.5-2 weeks out of the month I'm up in weight. :/

    Definately! I gain a few pounds (water) and have SUPER chocolate or anything else sweet cravings that I give in to. I have also noticed that a have NO energy during this week. I can't even get through a workout. I have started taking that week off of excercise and just trying my best to stay within calorie goal. I also don't pay attention to my weigh in.

    my scale only goes up during that time when i eat more or eat wrong. when i stay focused, fight through the fatigue, and make good choices i can actually lose weight. it's VERY hard but it's doable.

    I actually do still lose weight during that week. Maybe it is because I don't change my eating or exercise routines during that week. Or maybe I'm just a freak that way :laugh:

    I get this, but does anyone have the feeling of bloating and just plain old "I need a day of cheating!"

    I feel like crap today. I want to just say to hell with this diet. I typically do really good. I measure out EVERYTHING. I exercise 6 days a week. But today, I want my sweats, chocolate, chinese, fries, diet dr pepper and some ice cream. I am ready to sit down and have a really good cry. I have found that I really don't like anyone today and I am very thankful that my cube is in a corner as I have vomit of the mouth.

    I will confess that I am going to the obgyn first of April as I have been told that I have some severe symptom with this issues. but I am so lacking in motivation today. I am at the point where caring doesn't seem worth it.

    I know I will go back to normal in a few days as these feeling will last me about a whole week sometime 2.

    I need to scream, cry, eat chocolate (in that order) then I think I can survive this day!

    Oh yeah baby, it's called bloating. It's normal. In fact, It's good for you. Continue to eat well and you will find a dip after it's over.
