Ladies: How much do you gain around that time of the month?
Replies
-
I gain around 3 to 4 pounds. I hate weighing myself around that time. But it goes away quickly, thank god. :P0

Luckily, nothing.0
-
2 pounds, but I feel like I gained 20. I try not to think about it.0
-
I don't gain, my weight stalls.0

I'm so happy I stumbled across this thread today, because it's about to be TOM and I've been so sad about the scale being up 3 pounds... This made me feel better to know I'm not alone!
that's why I posted it! I needed a boost!0 -
I try not to weigh myself during my TOM, but I generally gain around 4 lb when I do. When I was irregular, I would gain up to 10 lb - I was more overweight then, too.

I guess I am weird. I either do not gain or I lose. It is strange. I do feel bloated during that time. It is hard not to eat more during that time. It is like my body needs more. I really have to watch it.0

I usually gain between 5-10lbs. I hate it. I dont even count weigh-ins during that time.0
-
About 1 - 2 kgs, whch is around 2 -4 pounds and I am also horribly bloated.
I keep a pair of larger jeans for that time of the month and I try to avoid the scale for 1 full week.0 -
I always drop right before and am up about 4 lbs during but it does goes away.0
-
between 1-3lbs.0
-
3-7 from about 2 weeks before i'm due to about 2 days after i get it.
some months less, some months more. there seems to be no rhyme or reason to determine if it'll be 3 or 7, so i just operate under the presumption that for 2 weeks of the month i'll be happy and feel good and have a normal appetite, and for 2 weeks of the month i'll be miserable, bloated, anxious, weak, tired, and ravenously hungry.
sometimes i can't wait to hit my mid 50's.0 -
I saw the scale go up 3lbs :x Boo0
-
3-5 lbs! I do my best to avoid the scale during that time of the month! too depressing!0
-
4lbs0

I refuse to even consider weighing myself during t.o.m. though I do know my stomach swells up between 1/2 to 1 inch n my thighs between unnoticable n 1/2 an inch lol...0
-
TOM always makes me gain about 5 pounds so I'm sure to stay away from the scale....0
-
Up to two to three pounds more for me, so no worries! Even if you don't feel bloated, always wait until after your period to be sure.0
-
Probably a couple pounds. Honestly though, since I got healthy, the negative side effects of my period are almost non existent. A little bloating beforehand, but cramps, fatigue, heavy bleeding, etc are all pretty much non existent now.0

i actually drop right before...i drop insane...like anywhere from 8 to 20 lb drops in the week before and during the first 3 days...then in the last two days of my cycle, I will gain back 4 pounds (that's consistent, its always four pounds) and then it will level off...
