    Water retention sucks. I know I've gained about 6 lbs this go around, but it all went away after the bloating did.

    I dont weigh myself, sometimes I can be up to 6lbs heavier and I dont want to get disheartened, I am so bloated this month - I shall leave it until next week before I weigh in and fingers crossed it will be good news.

    I weigh in once a month and if it's the time of the month for me, I still weigh in.

    A newly found fact for me is that you weigh more during your TOM! I also learned that you burn an extra 300calories per day whilst on your period, so as long as you eat the same you can lose an extra 1/2 pound! I also read that exercise (if you can manage it) is more rewarding during this time, as you burn more!

    I have never been so glad to get my period! I lost two pounds this time in four days weighed myself the day before and then weighed myself on the 31st August!! Did me wonders!

    Can't wait for next month! :D

    I typically weigh in about 2 lbs. heavier when I'm on my cycle even if I'm consistent with my calorie intake!

    I can't weigh myself while I have mine. Since starting MFP I usually gain about 4-5 lbs while I have it. It makes me so mad that I've decided NOT to even check the scale until a few days after I'm finished. Otherwise I get overly emotional about it lol

    Half a pound? I only *wish* I gained that little! Yes, I weigh in when on TOM, but I don't take that number too seriously, because I'm up - at a minimum - 4 pounds. However, the next week's weigh-in is always an ego booster for me!

    Good luck and good health!

    I still weigh in, because I'm curious. I like to see how different things affect my body.
