Do we gain weight during our monthly cycle or do we weigh less? I was not a fan of what I saw on the scale this morning but it could just be me.

    I hate it when I get my monlthy period. I gain about 4 or 5 pounds. It's all water weight. My body during this time has a tendency to retain water. It's so frustrating!!!

    Typically I gain during my cycle - a lot is water retention and it goes away in a few days as long as I stay within my calories.

    I wont come near the scale during my period. I can feel the extra weight.

    I definitely gain. I know it's mostly water weight and it comes right off the week after my cycle but, it definitely can be a morale crasher. I don't even LOOK at the scale around that time.

    This has nothing to do with this topic, but I have your sweater! :)

    I'm usually bloated and up a couple lbs the few days before, then go back to normal once I start.

    I would suggest not weighing during your period. I gain and am usually bloated.
