Ladies ONLY - Do you weigh more on your period?
Replies

Almost always a 3 lb weight gain. I don't weigh myself from the time I get TOM until a week later!!!0
-
I gain up to 8lbs the week before (yupp I think 8lbs was the mot I had) - then vanishes again after ... so yes, it is pretty normal I guess0
-
i usually end up gaining 2-5 lbs on my period......which is just water weight that will go away. i dont worry about exercising the first couple of days, cause i'm too busy dealing with cramps0
-
Yes, I weight more at TOM.0
-
I weigh more just before. Once it starts I usually have to pee more (can I say that), which I guess is the excess water leaving.0

Thank you all for all of the wonderful answers.
Periods are the worse...
They totally are the worst. The things we go through for the ability to bear children..
I'm glad to still have them. I like still having my own home-grown estrogen,0 -
One thing you can do is get one of those exercise velcro body wrap things. You wrap it tightly around your middle and it helps you keep the water weight down. Plus it almosts acts like a heating pad if you are cramping.0

Thank god its not just me then, was very gutted when i jumped pn the scales this morning, put on 2lbs since yesterday. This is my second day of mentruating so hopefully should be back on track next week0

I gain from 2 - 4 lbs, its discouraging, but afterwards go back to pre period weight0
-
yes, in my case always two pounds
those tampons weigh a ton !0 -
Yes, about 3-5 pounds.
I've decided to just not weigh myself that week.0 -
Ugh, just one pound would be amazing. I usually gain about 10.0

me too - I remember one month I put on 12lbs ans lost 14 the following week - this week it's been 7 so far, no weigh for me this week0 -
always 2-4 pounds heavier. I stay away from the scale for at least 2 weeks!!!!0

I definitely retain water around that oh-so-special time of the month. I remember years ago, I gained EIGHT POUNDS over a day or two before my period, and then peed it all out. It was awful. :sad: So yes, I am definitely among the huge crowd of women who feel your literal pain!
I think part of it is hormonal, but I also theorize that some of us are drawn to salty foods when we're PMS-ing, which also doesn't help in the bloating department...1 -
It happens to me too0

So thankful I just found this feed! I'm due for Tom any day now and weighed 5lbs more this morning!! Not cool! I've been seriously peed off all day! You lovely MFP ladies feeling my pain have helped no end!! :-D x0
