    between 2 and 5 pounds. :/ I start to bloat the week or so before and then my body lets it go about 3 days after.

    I fluctuate 1-3lbs from am to pm but ironically this period, I didn't fluctuate much (if any) at all. Small miracles I guess!

    I can answer this because I got on the scale this morning - 3 pounds! Also, my waist is a few inches bigger and it *feels* like I had a binge last night even though I didn't. Sigh.

    5-7lbs. Then a few times 10lbs. It is a pain. I just skip weigh in that week and it doubles up the following week.
    It is not real weight so I don't get hung up on it too much.

    When I'm eating anything - crap food, not drinking water, not exercising - just anything, uncontrolled, not tracking - I'll fluctuate by 3 lbs, or 2% of my body weight (at 137lbs).

    When exercising, eating "clean", my fluctuation seems closer to 1lb.

    I don't necessarily gain a ton - but that is EXACTLY how I feel!!!!! My waist gets big and I feel so bloated and gross, like I have eaten an entire pepperoni pizza! It sucks to be a woman! :happy:
