This may be a odd question, and by no means am I worried about the fluctuation in my weight but I was wondering....

How much do YOU gain before your period?

Legit, I am wondering if there is average number or if it is completely random per person.

I have gained 4 pds of water weight before mine.

    i haven't really noticed more than a pound or 2 during my period.

    the one thing i've noticed since i've started working out and eating healthier is that i get the worse gas before my period now. about 1 week before every time i work out....is it just me? i feel so weird bringing this up.

    LMAO, I have been SUPER gassy ALLLLL day which is when I figured I would get on the scale and look at my water weight since I feel like a balloon. Resulting in this post =p My period isn't until Tuesday

    Good question. 4 lbs for me too. Worries me like crazy every time! I did manage to actually lose weight once during PMS. That was about 3 months ago and I was in a biggest loser contest at work. There was money on the line and I wasn't gonna let TOM get in the way of me and that money :-)

    I have found that since I started this in April the amount gained has lessened. This month I was early - and only siggestion was that one evening I was starving and craved carbs, which I ate (healthier options than I would have in the past). Result - gain <0.5 lb gained.

    I have the exact same problem, and was so upset weighing myself earlier! Saw the number jump by 2 pounds, and got annoyed. Relieved I'm not alone! Now I can't wait to weigh myself after period's over! :)

    I gain around 5 during.
    But because I take birthcontrol I rarely have my period unless I run out of them, so i feel like the 5 pounds is its revenge...: D

    Anything between 2-4 pounds. Usually all in my belly and waistline, with a general puffiness all over. Awesome. I strongly urge you all to avoid weighing yourselves during your period week! No need to put yourself in a bad mood for no reason.

    it isn't abnormal for me to gain up to 10 lbs. it all goes away afterwards. sometimes i get a treat and lose an additional pound or two.
