I have been doing great with my weekly weigh in. My question to the ladies is, Do you weigh yourself at that very annoying time of the month? :sad:

    I always seem to weigh more around that time of the month sometimes as much as 5 pounds more. so i may weigh myself but i don't record it here and i try not to let it discourage me.

    Nooooo, not anymore. I always weigh 3-5 more, ugh. So it's better to just avoid it than to take the blow :noway:

    Well, with myself, I am always atleast 5lbs up the week before, but if I weigh in while I am "ON" then I am down 5lbs! Weird, I know. lol

    I just now starting to go from a once a week weigh-in to a 2-week weigh-in.

    I would wait until you are done TOM and then weigh-in.
  • I used to but have found I go up a good 4 pounds so I don't weigh myself until after it has the good times have started. It helps me to have the discouragement of going up because of something I can not control. I have found for my sanity I am happier and not as grouchy during that week. That makes my whole family happy!
  • I weigh. Usually am up during. Just part of life. I worry more about not killing anyone when my PMS takes hold vs a bit of water gain. LOL!

    I weigh myself every day if possible. I know that it doesn't work for some people, but it does for me. If the scale goes up it makes me restrict calories more, or exercise more.

    Yes, I weigh as much as 5 lbs more when I am near that time of the month, or during it for that matter.
