Do you weight yourself during your period ladies?

I weigh myself just to see what my average weight gain is during TOM, but I don't log it in, because it's just water weight and will disappear as quickly as it came once I'm over TOM. Don't stress out about it. It's normal

I weigh myself but don't log it.

I weigh myself, but since it can be around 7 lbs. and I've only lost 4 "real" lbs. so far, I do not log it. Really screws up my little graph A good exercise I like to do is swimming. You can use a pull buoy and not move your lower body at all if you want...

I guess fortunate for me TOM doesn't affect my weight at all. Last week was TOM and I still managed to lose 2.5lbs so I didn't notice that it affected it at all.

i weigh myself but I don't log it, cuz I know that its not an actual weight gain. I wait till the next week to "actually" weigh in. Last month I "gained" 6 lbs when I got my period but the week after I was down what I was before!

I like the numbers my scale says so I do weigh everyday. I know what TOM weight should be and at other times of day what it should be. I'm obsessive though. I do believe it keeps me on track from gaining any of the weight back. I don't stress until there is more than a 5 pound difference. I get numb legs too but this last time I managed some situps and stuff and actually felt good on my back laying on the floor.

I weigh myself and log it. I realize that it that TOM and if it says I've gained weight, I don't sweat it. I think about how big my weight loss will be next week after my TOM! That makes you feel real good when you have a hugh weight loss in one week, even if it is just water weight.

It is not recommended to weight few days before and after your period. The reasons? you already know this. So it is better to wait until your period is gone. There is something you mentioned about the afterward feeling when the scale does not show what we want. I had that terrible feeling yesterday when I weight myself and saw that I didn't lose and pound . Worst! the scale shows that I have gained 3 lbs. How can that be possible if I ve been eating clean and working out 7 days/week? Well I was so sad and upset that I went to the store and ate crackers, crackers, ice cream, crackers. I even had a diet coke like never before. I was going to skip the training session but I didn't so there they told me that It may be that I have gained muscle instead of fat. Anyway , I just decided not to weight myself for a while b/c it is not helping at all. Instead, I m going to use my pants to check my progress. I guess what I m trying to say here is that don't rely too much on the scale. Use another tool to check your progress.

i weigh myself duting TOM but i never post it. i gain around five to seven lbs during my period and then about two days after its all gone (sometimes plus some! i love when that happens!) so i say weigh yourself, because its a good measure of how much water your body retains and such, but never log it because its not your actual weight. its your stupid, too large TOM weight.

I don't. I usually feel double my normal size and nasty about myself, so I don't want the scale to comfirm it.*LOL*

I weigh myself, but I keep in mind that it's my time of the month and the numbers could be a little off. But it keeps me on the straight and narrow so I don't eat like a pig either. :-)

Same here! I will admit though, I feel a little giddy when I weigh myself after it's over because it's almost like I drop 3 pounds overnight.

I try not to. It always says I weigh more.

I did my first weigh-in today, when I got my period, but I don't think I'll do it again. I'd rather not weigh myself when I'm puffed up like a balloon, especially on day one of my period.

I also don't work out on day one of my period. I'm too cramped and nauseous, and I think it's best to keep the irritable, hormonal, whiny monster I become indoors with chocolate and red meat. I don't worry about my weight that day, I just concentrate on feeling better.

I don't think I will be weighing myself anymore during my TOM anymore.. I did this past time, saw the 7lb increase, and about had a stroke on the bathroom floor.

I've been peeing like crazy, so I anticipate that when I weigh myself next it'll all be back to normal, but I can't STAND to see such a high jump. My body is like a sponge like that.

I typically only weigh myself and log (if it's good) once a week, this week obviously excluded.

Monday was my second weigh-in, so I weighed myself without thinking about my TOM. I had lost 3.2 pounds my first week, stepped on the scale, and I was almost back to my starting weight! Then I took off my sweater and discovered that it weighs 2 pounds, so that was a little better, but I was at the same weight as I was last week. Maybe that means next week I'll lose a lot!
