Ladies...do you find yourself weighing either the same or a bit more during your menstrual cycle, and being bloated?

    Do a search in these forums. This topic has been discussed a couple thousand times. LOL The answer for a lot of women is "yes".

    I don't have a scale, but I'm so emotional during my cycle that I probably wouldn't do it, anyway, because if I gained 1 pound I'd freak, whereas if I wasn't on it, I would be fine.

    yes I can gain as much as 5 lbs! But I discovered that if I take extra calcium, drink EXTRA water and try to not eat as much sugar (I know its hard. Thats the only time I CRAVE sugar) that this month it was only about 2 lbs. When for my whole life it has always been 5-6. Its normal. Dont worry about it. I dont count my weight during the TOM

    I drink PLENTY of water so I'm never that bloated and I don't gain back much since I don't retain as much water. Drinking water is key when it's your time of the month. :-) (I'm on mine right now! :-P)

    Not as bad anymore. I started drinking lots of water and this past TOM I didn't bloat like normal. The water helps but still hate to weigh at that time.

    Thanks everybody, and sorry if this was a topic already discussed. I found that I weighed 2 lbs more, but now that its almost over i'm back down again.
