Ladies - do you log your period weight gain?

So each month I gain 2-5 pounds the week before my period and then it goes away (this is very frustrating!!). Should I log that as a gain. My weigh-in days are Fridays. I hate to see my pounds lost number go down. What does everybody else do?

Nope, I don't log it....I only record weight when I lose.0

Unfortunately. Always nice to see it drop off the next week though.0

I don't. My body fluctuates so much day to day that I would drive myself crazy. I weigh myself each day and only record losses. If I went of track for a while and gained actual fat and not water weight, I would add it.0

No. If after a week the scale hasn't gone down then I would because then it's not period/water retention anymore.0

I was pondering this same question this morning. I have been doing everything as usual...eating right, exercising and this morning when i weighed in I noticed a 2 pound gain... then I thought my monthly is about to start like in the next day or so... so do I record this weight or give it a week? I decided to skip recording my weight this week and just resume when my monthly has gone. I will stay on point with eating and exercising and it will show on the scale again in a week or so :-)
Congrats on the weight loss so far!! You have done a great job!0 -
Nope I don't0

Funny you mention that today...every week until now, I just record as normal every Thursday morning and those gains and losses are just part of it.
Today however, I made an exception to that rule. I hit Onederland last week at 199.2. I am NOT going to record a weigh in back over 200 today even though I know 2 or 3 of it is due to TOM. It may be cheating, but my ego needs it!! LOL!0 -
Funnily enough, I was just talking about this on another thread, and yes, I've decided to. I weigh every day though, and I'm not sure my confidence could handle looking at the gain (or even just lack of progress) that I would be virtually guaranteed to see twenty-five percent of the time if I were to weigh weekly.0

LOL NO. I only weigh once a month right after the TOM. There are too many fluctuations. Take your measurements in inches/cm0

Hell NO! :devil:0

No. If after a week the scale hasn't gone down then I would because then it's not period/water retention anymore.
^^^ agreed.0 -

I try to keep it at my lowest "true" weight. I kind of know when it's just a water thing, and I try to keep it real. If I put every gain and loss on there, I would drive myself crazy. Loss is so much more motivating, and that's the goal at this point.0

no but i log the chocolate i ate while pmsing0
-
No, I weigh myself once a month, and its 2 weeks after my period starts , so mid month.0
-
no! I just wait until the next week. no way. It's silly when you know what's going on.0
