    I usually notice it go down as soon as I start. I usually dont gain more then 1-2 lbs water weight anyway, so for me its not big deal, but nice to know that it goes away so quickly.

    I am weird, all my pms and water weight comes when I ovulate. I started MFP right after I ovulated and imediately lost 6-7 lbs of water.

    Mine goes the day the flow starts, but hangs around the whole week before.

    My weight gain happens mid-cycle during ovulation. Takes 7-10 days to get rid of it.

    I usually gain about three pounds and lose it the day after the last day of my flow. I seem to be the minority on this one though! I guess everyone's body is different.

    Mine never went away. That's how I got fat. Every month I put on another 2 pounds of water weight, and they just new went away.:cry:

    Me too. After that time is when I see a big weight loss.

    I usually notice a gain right before I start and it dips alittle when I start but doesn't fully go back to normal until a few days after I stop completely

    Am I the only one who doesn't actually experience a change? If anything, I feel I *lose* weight when I'm on my period.

    I notice my loss on my 1st or 2nd day of my period.

    Since I had my daughter last year my periods have been a little crazy.... way longer and heavier than ever before, but the gain and bloating has been brutal. I don't notice it going away visibly and off the scale until I hit the last day of my cycle.

    Nah I'm the same way too. Before I had this desperation to get pregnant I actually looked forward to my period because it meant my body is normal.

    Usually when Im finished Ill weigh myself again, I tend to gain BEFORE my monthly and be about 3-5 lbs lighter after. Fun fact: menstruating burns 15% more cals the first few days, hence PMS cravings so if you are going to cheat a bit on your diet, right before you start or within the first 2 days is the best time to do so xoxoxo

    Drink lots of water to flush it all out and you should go back down. A lot of people dont know how important water is for you to lose weight :tongue:
