    It is very discouraging both ways.
    I don't want to take credit for the loss after I am done with my cycle. I just started this journey a few days ago and am not sure what my "real" starting weight is.

    2-3 pounds. I hate it. I know what it is, but it is still so discouraging to see the weight that I've worked so hard to lose for the past 3 weeks come back on the scale....

    I am relieved to read this. I have been doing very well the past couple of weeks and can tell that I have gotten smaller. This morning I step on the scale and my weight is up! I was so discouraged and felt like giving up immediately. Then I read this and realize now that I am due to start my period in 3 days. Whew!! Hopefully that is all it is...

    Usually about 5 pounds. But I am super excited this month, cause it's only an extra 2 pounds!!

    I must be the only woman on the planet who LOSES the week of her period! :)

    I don't think so... I took out my Nuvaring Sunday night and the scale dropped almost 5 pounds. I should be starting on Thursday too. Weird. I've never weighed myself at this time of month before.

    5-7lbs. No doubt. And always--ALWAYS--I'm down 2-3lbs. after it finally comes. Ugh.

    I have gained up to 3ish kilos at times. It usually starts the week before and usually comes down a day or two before it ends. It sucks when I'm having irregular periods and can't take proper weight measurements! :p

    It is very very frustrating. This month I gained 7lbs overnight due to TOM. I lost 2 afterwards, but I'm stuck with 5 extra now that I'm busing my butt to try to get to go back away. It really sucks too because I had hit a goal and this pushed me back up over it so now I have to hit it again =/ Although part of the gain sticking may be due to increasing my calories faster than recommended to TDEE-20 instead of a flat 1300, so hopefully I will adjust to that and start losing again
