    Most definately. Depending on how the month is I sometimes am bloated for almost a week before. Just plug on through it and alot of times if you keep up your exercising & eating correctly during this time you'll noticed you lost more once it's over.

    Yes I gain about 5lbs, although this week (actually I started yesterday) I was only up one pound. So I am super happy about that. It takes about three days for me to notice something on the scale. But since I am only weighing in weekly I will know next week. I just have to focus and not inhale everything in site. ugh.

    I find that drinking LOTS of water and exercising a bit helps with the bloated feeling, just don't obsess about it too much for those days and stay away from the scale til you feel better!

    For me it isn't water retention but food retention, I always get constipated the few days before and then whoosh ... sorry if TMI but you did ask :blushing:

    LOL! ^^^ This!! Me and all my sisters have a name for this! I'm not sharing, it really is too much information! :noway:

    Near the end of it, for me. I get a rockin' weigh in a few days after it finishes.

    LOL - Yeah the scale is always so friendly after my period. I'm on maintenance now, but when I was losing I would go forever without the scale moving. Then, I'd get my period and at the end of it I'd have dropped a few pounds!
