    I have been working out the past days and I want on the scale tonight after I worked out and eat. I have gained 5 pounds since that. I don't get it and I have been drinking more water and eating right. The only thing else is that I have eight days away from my period. Should I be losing weight and not gaining.

    Why would you go on the scale right after working out and eating? That makes no sense.

    I always put on about 5-7 lbs before I start. I always get discouraged during that time of the month but I try not to let it bother me cause I know it'll go away. Just make sure to always drink plenty of water.

    I also started measuring my foods today! I can have 1270 calories per day according to MFP. So far, so good.

    Hi :) I'm new here but your post related to what I've been through. Trying to figure it out myself. Along with PCOS have you had hormones and thyroid tested? I'm highly estrogen dominant Nd also have hashimotos. The doctor won't prescribe meds because I'm too young but they are two factors that cause significant weight gain and/or will not let the body lose weight. Usually they are combined with PCOS. At least for me it Is. I haven't found out how to lose the weight yet except for hormone treatment and they refuse to treat me for thyroid at my age although it runs through my entire moms family for the past four generations. Id check the other levels to see if you need it. Best of luck to you :)

    Thanks. I am going to be going to the doc in January and hopefully they can help me!
