I always do due to bloating and water weight. I take Midol the day before and the day of weigh in because it helps with both. HTH0

I have the same problem i gain at least 5 pounds during my time of the month. i still exercise and eat healtyh too. It is just water retention.0
-
I would skip this week's weigh in and record next week's weigh in.0

Yeppers. I can gain upwards of 5 pounds with all the water I retain. It's most unfortunate.0

Trust me you're not the only one! Last month I gained 9 pounds and I finally got it off this week! And guess what's dur agin any minute now? Yep, TOM! Ugh! Sometimes it's tough being a woman but I wouldn't want to be a man!0

It's completely normal and completely unpreventable. Nothing I do ever changes when I'm on my period. I actually go down quite a bit after my period because I was really trying not to gain during. If I stay the same, I'm happy. If I go up more than 4 pounds, I start to freak out.0

I went down at the beginning of the week, but then gained almost 2 pounds I'm hoping in the next day or 2, I will see the # come back down.....sucks!!!0

I don't know how much I gain but I gain a lot. My boobs always grow like a whole cup size and I gain weight. So yes, my answer is yes! I think it's totally normal and you shouldn't even count it.:happy:0
-
I feel like I gain at least 10. I think 4 sounds about right. That's nothing compared to the lovely mood swings though. Or is that just me? lol!0

I always gang that TOM too. It's just water retention, though, and gone by the next week. I wouldn't be concerned unless the weight is accumulating - gaining 5 pounds that TOM and only dropping 2 the following week. Don't worry about it! If you just can't stand to log the gain, just skip that week's weigh-in (although, personally, I think it's a great way to track your body's rhythms).0

Don't weigh myself at that time.0

I started today and weighed about a pound more than yesterday. I"ve never paid much attention before.0
