    Why was this resurrected?

    I am guessing it was the search function at work.

    Well. . . at least the search function is being used. :flowerforyou:

    Good point. Carry on, menstruators.

    Where's Joy? She loves a good menstruation thread. :laugh:

    Somebody come rub my tummy and feed me chocolate, please.

    On the way! Same place as last time?

    Maybe this explains the weight gain.
    Did you just call me fat?! :sad: Do you really think i am fat Jof? Do I look fat?
    Boohoo where's the ice-cream?

    You're gonna want to be more careful with your comments, Jof. Iulia is in a very sensitive state right now

    My first thought was:

    child: "maybe it's a tumor."

    Arnold: "IT'S NOT A TUMOR!"

    Always - usually between 2 and 5 pounds. I try not to change what I'm doing exercise and food wise but I've realized that I may need to allow for a special treat so the cravings don't drive me batty.

    I don't gain at that time, but I sure as heck don't lose any. I believe the water weight has a part to play here.

    During my ovulation I put on about 4 lbs., but the day I start my period I have lost that 4lbs. in water weight. I do not weigh myself anymore in that time period.

    Usually either gain about 1 or 2 pounds a few days before it starts, or I just don't lose anything. It stays like that until I have about two days totm left to go.

    I tend to gain 5-7 that week and then about 2 days after it's done it's all off. I do know it's water weight because my scale also measures body fat%, muscle % and water %. My water is always high that week. So yup, it's normal.

    i'm pretty new to MFP but i'm so thankful for the forum community. I've been eating right and exercising for 4 weeks now, lost a total of 5 lbs. Yesterday, i gained 3 of it back and today, all of the weight came back. granted, i just got my period today and have been PMSing all last week, but i felt so disheartened and so mad at myself. Seeing this forum puts things in perspective for me :)
