Men readers, you've been warned, lol.
I was just wondering if you skip weighing yourself when you are on your cycle. I have always been told that you retain more water/bloated around that time.

My cycle has a water bottle mounted on it so I guess you could say I retain more water when I'm on it....0

I notice that I do retain water, and generally gain a few pounds before and during, but my weight goes back down 2-3 days afterward.0

Bahaha.0 -

Cycle? I don't think I understand....0

A lot of people skip weighing during their period. I don't see any problem with that. I personally make myself go ahead and weigh, but just keep in mind that if the numbers are disappointing, that's the reason why. My personal opinion is that it's something that is a part of my life, whether I like it or not, so I need to figure out a way to incorporate it into my weight loss journey too. I think whatever you decide to do is fine, as long as it works for you and you're consistent!0

Yup, by about 2 pounds, and I look fatter too. I still weigh myself, but I take the extra weight into consideration, and others have said, it goes away a few days later.0

Same here. I generally weigh around 2 more pounds during TOM. I always weigh on Monday mornings so if it happens to fall on that day I will still weigh and just not get worked up about it if I'm up. Uncontrollable factor.0
-
I try not to weigh myself that week, but I always cheat. I find instead of a 2 lb loss it's only one or none at all.0
-
During that week, and a little before, I definitely skip weighing myself because I feel that seeing the scale change in any direction but down makes me unmotivated to continue doing what I'm doing even though I still might be losing weight. It really sucks, but normally when I come out of being bloated and continue weighing myself, the results make me feel much better!0
-
Hasn't anyone hard of manstration?0
-
No, I don't skip, but after measuring regularly once a week on the same day every week, I do know that I tend to retain about 4 lbs of weight that week, but then it goes away the next week. Ive been monitoring it for about 5 years now, so I fell pretty comfy with my method 8 ) Good luck!0

I don't log my weight during Shark Week, but I do check the scale just to see how I'm doing.0
