This is for the ladies

I promise I will quit with the questions eventually.Anyways last week I was down to 230 pounds and this week I am up almost 5 pounds.I know that it is right around ovulation time for me.Does anyone else gain weight around ovulation and then again right before TOM? Will it go away?My appetite is out of control today .

I do, yup hits me twice a month as well...just before my period and then also when I ovulate.

Ah, and yes the water weight will drop within the week of both, so no worries, Tam has got a great thread of various links out here floating around on MFP...I'll see if I can find it and bump it for you to read.

Unsure if anyone on here has ever brought up the 2 times a month deal before you (geesh, so glad you brought it up!!)...cause I was beginning to think I was the only that happened too. I used to think I was losing my mind until I started charting when it happened and then like you realized...lightbulb moment:drinker: , it DID happen 2 times during the cycle.

This is exactly why I swapped my weigh in times to only once a month because every two weeks it bounced all over!:grumble: That's pretty much why I don't join weekly weigh in challenges as well anymore I got to bummed seeing my weight all over the place after healthy eating and then poof, one week down then up then down then up. Once a month for me helps me not be obessed with numbers anymore:laugh: :bigsmile:

Never stop asking questions!!:bigsmile: There'll always be someone around to respond and who knows if your question is something another member or a dozen others are a bit too nervous to ask themselves. So keep on asking whatever you'd like:flowerforyou: :happy:

WOW! I always noticed the few pounds around my TOM but also have the other ups and downs you described! So glad that you wrote about this. I do weigh myself everyday and it drives me crazy! But I can't help myself

Thanks now I don't feel like such a freak!! I was freaking out when the scales went as high as 6 pounds yesterday and I thought there is absolutely no way I could have gained six pounds of fat in 2 days.So thanks for answering my question.

:flowerforyou: Yea it always feels great when you don't feel you're the only one and that you've not lost your mind!:blushing: :laugh:

Nah, the lbs will be back off before you know it Hon:flowerforyou:

Now I'd say THIS is really for the ladies! :bigsmile:

Hubba hubba, I'll take 2, no 3, no 4 of him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
