    Yes. I weigh myself Friday mornings after I use the bathroom regardless of whether or not I'm on my time of the month.

    yupp, it never hurts to know your weight, but don't get discouraged if it isn't what you want it to be.

    I do not! I know from experience I'm 5-7 pounds heavier, so instead of upsetting myself I just wait a few days.

    Yes, I tend to daily. But I don't officially log it until about 2 days in (which actually tends to be a low weight for me for some reason). Whatever keeps you sane though, just as long as you stay on track with your diet and exercise!

    Yes! You should weigh yourself the same time and day every week. I do Mondays, first thing in the morning.

    I do.

    I usually don't the week before I know I'm going to have it, because I don't know about with some women, but I get extremely bloated and the scale shows it like I've just randomly gained 8 pounds. Usually once it starts it drops back to the weight I was at before the bloating.

    Yep, I sure do. I've occasionally lost weight on my cycle. I wouldn't worry too much about the expected gain, it'll come off. I just like to check in.

    Yes I do!

    I'm actually looking forward to my time being over (Sunday) because I'm curious if I've lost more than I think I have given my being bloated and stuff.

    But yes I weigh in, I still work out, I do my VERY best to avoid my chocolate cravings or any junk food. So far, so good! :)

    yup. I weigh myself every day. I think it helps us figure out our own body's weight loss pattern.

    I can tell you that I have found that if I only weigh myself once every two weeks, then I feel more of an accomplishment when I see a bigger loss than one or two punds. And, that way you can make sure that you are NOT weighing yourself during your time. Hope this helps:)

    I used to avoid the scale during my period (PS, why doesn't any woman on MFP say "period" or "menstruation" for ****'s sake) because I assumed I would be bloated. But then I weighed myself almost every day for a while and realized that I gain weight while I'm ovulating and it usually goes away by the time my period starts.

    I made the mistake of doing just that this morning...I gained 2 lbs...but hoping that will change by my monday weight in.

    I weigh myself every Monday morning, in the nude, right after going potty!! Haven't noticed a weight shift during that time. Also I drink lots of water!

    Thank you every one for posting. I can gain in water weight 10 pounds in one day. So this is why I am wondering when it is my time if I should.

    I did weigh myself this week (I'm on now) but saw absolutely no change in the scale. Since I've been working my butt off lately, I attributed that to being on my period (women weigh a few pounds more during our time of the month) and the fact that I started a strenuous weight lifting program last week. I'm hoping to see the results of my work on the scale next week. Oh the wonderful world of womanhood!

    I would love to get to a point where I can do that. I only got myself to stick to once a day in the last few months. Its a sick obsession that really makes me spiral because the numbers fluctuate too much during the day. I have a friend who doesn't have a scale at home at all, she only weighs in once a week at the weight loss clinic she goes to.

    Yes, I weigh myself every monday, no matter what. If I'm on my period and I gain weight, it just pushes me to work harder.
