Know what I hate? I hate following my diet and exercise to a T, only to have Aunt Flow and water retention show a gain on the scale.

GRRRRRR

    Yes thank you I hate those 4 days too. All my clothes feel tighter and I really do not want to exercise then either.

    I can't remember last time I had a period. Oh, there was one just now. And another. And another... and three more!

    What? Like a guy was really gonna avoid a thread telling him NOT to look :laugh:

    It does suck! But I've noticed too that when I workout while I'm on my time, I get less headaches, cramps, and I dont tend to feel as bloated. I just have to force myself to do some kind of workout even if i feel crappy lol =)

    lol, i think if you just put "WANNA HEAR ABOUT MY PERIOD?!?" as the title, more guys would stay away lol they can't resist and "no boys allowed" thread :)

    and yes....TOM is crazy annoying when you're trying to lose weight. i have a 10 day plateau once a month. i just started birth conrtol last month, so i'm hoping that it won't be so bad this time.....

    LOL. The GIF in your signature goes so well with the comment.

    (and I bet guys are so shocked by the fact that women menstruate)

    This is true, I have also found this,

    My time this month was crazy, the scale went up 4 pounds! Then i got up in the middle of the night last night to 'get rid' of that 4lbs of water! Hahaha, it was the funniest thing, my work trousers were hanging off me again today. Good times!!

    I kind of like it because I can "blame" the weight gain on something! No worries, just drink extra water and take a Midol or other diuretic! Hang in there ;)

    If you get cramps, working out is an amazing way to make them go away. Your body releases endorphines and make it all a lot less painful. Thats my motivation!!
