    I am so relieved to know my 2 a day workouts and diet changes are for nothing. I wanted to cry this morning when I weighed myself.Thank you for asking and thank you for that knowledge.

    Totally normal... I actually go up between 5-7lbs but I pound alot of water to stay hydrated during my TOM. To avoid the let down feeling, I simply avoid the scale then lol.

    I was also getting really discouraged because a couple days before it started i put on 2 pounds and i started thinking all my efforts werent working. Then when it started i gained another pound. Now im still waiting for it to go away. Im 123 normally now im 125-126 every time i weigh in. Hopefully when my period ends the weight will fall off

    always! between bloating and water retention, it gets ugly. I avoid weighing myself during my period because i know i will be up and that when it's over i will be back to normal.

    yep, always up anywhere between 2 and 5lbs during that time. I continue to exercise at the same level/intensity during that time, but i dont record weight on that week :)

    Yes always anywhere between 5 and 7lbs more from five or six days before until 2 or 3 days after then there's the bloating which can add 2 or 3 inches to my tummy as well. Very normal I think a lot if not most ladies get some degree of increase around that time.

    Yes, so now I just don't weigh myself during that period, and just focus on getting exercise in and staying within my limit.

    I gained almost 5lbs overnight and then I got my period today. I was hoping the 5lbs were due to my period since i've been working so hard at losing weight lately...Thanks for all of your comments! It gives me hope that the 5 extra lbs will go away as soon as the monthly punishment is gone!

    I do normally gain weight before my period... But when I'm loosing weight I don't gain anything much before my period, maybe 100-200 grams. But during my first days of period I lose 1 kg, sometimes 2 easily...

    I was actually wondering if any of you ladies experience the symptoms of bloating and slight weight gain/stalls the week -before- you're due? I've been working out every day this week and staying well below my limit in net calories. My weight continued going down the end of this weekend and has since shot up 2-3 pounds in addition to my stomach feeling and looking bloated. I'm not due till about the 9th or 10th so I'm trying to figure out if it's related at all.

    heh heh, great post :D and the answer is yes, sometimes up by 2 kilos (roughly 4 lbs) and it stays for the week :S and sometimes it comes on the week before.
