  • Just don't weigh yourself as soon as you notice bloating and general PMS symptoms, wait till it's over, that'll be more accurate. In the mean time, keep eating properly and keep fluids and exercise going.

    It's pretty much different for every women, so you must find out on your own what happends to your body.

    Personally, I weight less on the day before and first day (also my tummy seems to shrink more)... I actually feel my `skinniest` on the first day.
    Then by day 2 and 3, I suddently gain 500-700 grams that I lose steady in a week.

    But then again, I don't mind weight fluctuations, as I know that happens even when I'm not menstruating. I just take them as they are. I'll be even fluctuating at maintenance in the end. Why mind 2-3 days of weight gain when I know that at the end of the week/month I steadilly lose.

    I feel SO much better after reading all these posts. What a relief! I stepped on the scale yesterday and wanted to cry. I just started using MFP about three weeks ago and was steadily losing, then I hop on the scale and was back to my starting weight. This explains EVERYTHING.

    i too gain weight during periods. feel better after reading all these
  • Thank goodness! I just got started on a diet and exercise routine, and I've worked hard all week, so it was very disappointing to step up on the scale this morning and see it was a little higher than last week when I started!

    Definitely agree about water retention. When I was lighter (14.5-5), I would put on half a stone (7 pounds) in water weight during my period, and drop it immediately after. Since I got heavier (16 stone at present), I haven't noticed it, but then I've been on the pill off and on, so I'm not sure how that affects things. I think I'm having a bit of one at the moment so I have no idea how that will affect my first weigh in this Sunday...

    Oh I am SO happy I found this thread. I'm a few days from my period and my weight shot up by nearly 5 lbs. I've been working so hard to get to my ideal weight that I almost cried when I looked at that number. I feel so much better now! I'll wait a week or two to weigh in again!

    Glad I found this. I figured the scale went up because of my TOM but I wanted to check and see that other women deal with it too. My weight goes up 4 pounds. One thing I like to eat is a piece of whole grain toast with some peanut butter. It helps the cravings and gives me the extra energy I need for TurboFire. Sprinkle cocoa on it for a little chocolate. :)

    It only affects the scale around the time of your period. For me, I usually see a slight gain or my weight will stay the same that week despite my efforts. But, once it's over I usually see a pretty satisfying drop.

    That's how I am. Starting the week before, my weight will either go up a little or stay about the same. As long as I stick with my healthy eating, after my period is over the water weight plus whatever I normally would have lost over that time comes off almost overnight.

    It does seem like if I'm really good about drinking lots of water the whole time I won't gain much in water retention, so at least I won't get discouraged by seeing the scale go up during that time. I usually divide my weight measured in pounds in half and aim for drinking that number in ounces of water throughout the day.
