My Period Makes Me Feel All Jiggly!

Uggh! I hate the week before and the week of my period. My clothes are too tight and I'm so full of water weight I can almost feel myself sloshing around!

I also feel like I look way bigger than I do off my period and it's depressing

Rant over.

I call that feeling "squishy"...I know where you're coming from!

I'm struggling with the same thing right now. I lost ~7 pounds in about 2 weeks, then PMS and my period hit. It felt like all the progress I saw in the mirror was erased. My clothes were tight, I was bloated, and my stomach and sides feel all soft and gooey and puffed out.
The worst part is, I've also hit a huge plateau. My weight has only budged .2 pounds in a week, which is so discouraging. I was hoping I'd lose at a fast rate for longer, since I'm just starting this weight loss journey and have about 20 pounds to go. I'd rather not fight tooth and nail for 20 pounds at a rate of .2 pounds at a time.
I just feel like every month it's going to be 2 good weeks and 2 bad weeks, thanks to my period!

Me too. Two good weeks, two bad weeks. I've heard that exercising more the week before helps and makes up for feeling too crappy to workout the first few days. I do know that if you keep up what you do the two good weeks as best you can, it will show after your bad two weeks are over. Last month I had a 3pound loss right after.

I only ever have trouble the week of my period, and I skip most of my periods, hahaha. My boyfriend makes me have a period every 3 months though and this is that month! I only lost 0.4lbs this week because of my period, but I'm excited to see the numbers drop (hopefully) after this week too . I hate the feeling I get when I'm on my period, but I feel so much better now that I've worked out today, so maybe you could go workout and that could make you feel a bit better?
