BLOWTING

Ladies!...

Just curious how much does your weigh fluctuate during that time of the month?..about how much weigh do you go up with all the bloating and water retention?

    Anywhere from 2-5 pounds, typically.
  • 3-7 pounds usually. I think the most I've seen is 9(?) but am not certain. It's scary to see the scale climb up over the course of a few days but it's nice to watch it disappear just as quickly too!
  • I'm in the 2-5 range also. However, I've read it is normal for up to 7 pounds!

    Gah such a frustrating time! lol. I try never to weigh myself during the monthly gift, but I would say probably anywhere from 5-8lbs for me. Luckily after 4-5 days, I go back to my same weight before I started. But I feel so yucky, so I try to drink as much water as possible and limit salt intake even more than usual during it.

    yep same, anywhere from 2 -5 pounds, depending on how much sodium I eat, ........if you keep your sodium intake down and drink lots of water, & exercise, that helps ALOT!!!

    I meant to add to my first reply that now that I exercise during TOM, it has helped some with water retention, I guess from the sweating? But still, I expect a gain when I weigh that quickly resolves itself after it's over.

    3 to 6 lbs. Sucks.
