    Omg, you gain weight on your period? Every month? That would totally freak me out.

    I hate that extra gain! UGH! I definitely go to the gym & work harder because I usually get achy during TOM, and I don't want to get lazy & miss my workouts.

    I am the Lightest the day before my period THEN gain 2-3lbs the next day. It seems to take it's time to leave again. Arggg grrr. I started MFP a few days ago and I am hoping that when I am eating healthy and less and also exercising that my weight won't change at TOM. I will let you know in 3.5 weeks :)

    Does it seriously take 2 pages to say..YES..SMH

    We are women..since puberty..we bleed, we bloat, we cramp, we gain a couple..then it all goes away and we get over it.

    This is nothing new...

    I wonder how many guys clicked on this then read it and went AHHHH MAN!!!
    LOL

    But yes - it happens to the best of us. I gained 5lbs this time and dropped it in 2 days once Auntie Flow left.

    lol guilty

    I would guess since it is a question that is asked so often that not everybody goes through the bloat cramp phase, I never have felt bloated and have never had cramps...it was not until the Feb of this year that I realized that happened because I noticed it on the scale. I feel bad for you that you go through feeling bloating and cramping...that has to make the rest of suck that much more!

    Yes, I normally gain an extra 2 or 3 lbs, then I lose it right after the flow has ceased! (i.e. I crave the salt like crazy before and during, but not after)

    Yup. I usually gain 2-3 lbs before my monthly...water retention and craving to eat (doesn't matter what it is..just to eat).

    Yup. This is the case for me. It's water retention. I go up 3-5 pounds right before AF hits, and then lose it (plus that weeks fat loss) the day after AF is gone.

    God bless!
