Ladies, during or right before your time of the month do you tend to weigh more? If so how much weight do you pick up and when do you experience this?

Yes. 3-5 pounds. Every month and it's temporary. Don't worry about it, it's normal.0

Yep its normal, dont worry.0

Thanks. My weight went up like 10 pounds but my period is not due for another 5/6 days so I was starting to worry how I gained the 10 pounds I worked so hard to lose.0

Yes it can be anything from 3-6 pounds for me, usually start to feel this about two days before hand. I also binge on junk food (which I am trying to get out of the habit) its only at that time, whatever my body is lacking it longs for the sweet stuff. Its normal though, never weigh or measure yourself around that time. Always wait until at least 5days after.0

I have months like this! Sometimes even midmonth rather than typical PMS. I can go 10 to 12 pounds occasionally, although 3 to 5 is more typical. what's nice, though, is if you stick with your deficit throughout this time, I typically see a bigger drop when it's all squared away.0 -
When I first started losing weight I would have gains of 10 pounds. It was always heartbreaking, but the next day "ahh yes that's why" by the end I'm back on track. Now I only go up about 3 pounds or so.
Super excited I weighed myself the other day and was a pound less, hadn't weigh in a while. The next day period. Wonder how much it would have been if I hadn't started.0 -
Yep. During ovulation for some, too (as I'm currently up at this point).0
-
I see a peak of about 5 lbs the day I start. I also see a bit of a bump when I ovulate. I just track and move on. It's kind of neat to see the trend over several months0

I retain water like it's my full time job. It goes away quick enough. Just don't weigh yourself constantly :-)0
-
Yep! Just ignore, don't freak out. I also get voraciously hungry just beforehand. I could eat everything that's not nailed down and I stare at other people's food. I drink a lot of herbal tea during that time....0

I am anywhere from 3-7(SEVEN) pounds more week before and of TOM. I have just started staying away from the scale at this time because even though I know it's temporary... It seriously bums me out!0
-
Yup, happens to lots of women. It sucks so bad watching it go up, but is very fun when it drops back down.
Makes for an interesting weight chart, too.0 -
I gain up to 10 lbs around my time!0

I get really hungry too. I will start logging down how much weight I gain around my time of the month.0 -
-
I usually gain about 3lbs - I also become really hungry for about 2 days beforehand!0

:laugh: THIS! I swear this must be people's first periods.0 -
Thanks for asking the question OP I was wondering too if the same thing is happening to all of us. I am up 4lbs and it bummed me since it prevented me to reach my weekly goal. I also crave junk food a few days before. The good thing is it prompts me to workout harder to see a loss0

I gain a little water and refuse to weigh myself for a week! Also I'm ovulating and have gained 2lb (hopefully just water) and my appetite is crazy mid cycle. it does my head in.0
