    No, I don't. I have seen my weight go up from 5-10 lbs during that time....

    One question on this topic. For those on the Pill, do you also notice monthly weight fluations?? I knowmthere is disagreement if the pill overall causes gain, but I am curious about monthly cyclemchanges in weight?? Sometimes I think I do before my period, but here I am taking hormones so my body doesnt know the period is coming until I stop taking my monthly pill pak, right??

    Nope, I don't log it....I only record weight when I lose. :)

    This... I only log when I lose. My weight fluctuates A LOT... everyone's does. Even though I weigh every day, I only log when there's a loss...

    No. If after a week the scale hasn't gone down then I would because then it's not period/water retention anymore.


    Yup! This is exactly how I handle that too. I retain more water now during my period than I used to. Having a baby sure does a number to your body! I just wait a couple days after, then weigh myself.

    OMG. It's a trap!!!!!!!!

    If you're getting that worried about a "gain" on your period (which isn't really a gain), just toss that scale out the second story window.

    Nope, never. I only record loss. Even last week I had a few high sodium days and gained a couple pounds because of water retention. I didn't record my weight that week. I waited a week, then recorded not only the couple pound drop, but an extra pound too! Give yourself a break!

    I don't record my weight on a weekly basis. I just weigh myself most mornings when I get up, and when the weight is a new low, I record it. I don't worry about a few pounds over; weight fluctuates. I'm just looking to see a new low number, then I know I'm losing.

    HAHA Me too!

    If you weighed yourself in the morning, and then you drank a 32oz bottle of water and then weighed yourself again, would you log that as a 2lb gain?

    No!

    What's this "weighing yourself" that you speak of?

    I locked my scale in a closet months ago . . . dirty little liar.

    I only ever log all-time-lowest losses. The ups and downs are natural and ain't nobody got time to log every change.
