      Most women do. There have been some really informative threads on this before, with some really great answers that explain why, if you're looking for that. When you're in the forums, you will see: Home, Recent Posts, My Topics, Settings, and Search. You can search it using the latter option. :flowerforyou:

      This week is my new record. 6 pounds, but I also ate an obscene amount of sodium on Sunday. I'm not worried, it always goes away.

      Right before mine hits its up usually 5-7 lbs, but the day I get it, the scale is always nice to me, and those extras go away. Its like a little bonus.

      Yes by 3 to 5 lbs! Wondering how it will go this month since I'm starting my 3rd week on MFP and started after my last period.
      I guess I will stay away from the scale.

      Yes and usually by 2-3 pounds. Plus 3 days before Aunt Flow arrives I'm like Chris Farley in the SNL skit where he, Adam Sandler and David Spade are dressed as private school girls and are in the cafe when Chris Farley's "girl" sneaks a french fry. When David's character says "aren't you on a diet" Farley in a devil's voice says: LEAVE ME ALONE I'M STARVING!

      Dr told me to stay away from high sodium foods, drink more water and add a little extra light cardio walking etc to help combat the water gain. And now I use it for extra motivation b/c I see that higher number and even though in my head I know it is just bloat it does make me hold myself more accountable for what I am eating.

      The joys of womanhood LOL.

      My weight goes up a few days before mine starts and goes down after it's done, so about a week altogether.

      Not sure, but when my wife is on her period, I always tell her that she looks fat

      What a charmer!

      For me, I always lose 2-3lbs that week and can feel the inches lost in my stomach. As soon as it've over, my lbs are back and my normal bloat reappears! WIERD!!

      Mine goes up 5lbs. Usually gone in a couple of days due to water retention.

      Yep... By about 5 lbs, but I have cysts that form in unison with my cycle

      When I'm on my period my weight can go up as much as 5lbs! I try not to weigh myself that week but I am in a weight loss challenge at work so I have to weigh. I just chalk it up to water retention and I try not to get discouraged. So far my weight has evened out once I am back on track and off my period.

      I wouldn't worry about it too much. It's one of the joys of being a woman! :wink:

      **just spit out my drink all over my desk** No one was looking, right???

      I'm so b****y around that time, if I got on the scale I'd probably take someone out with it afterward. I try not to take people out.

      I was told not to wheigh myslef cuz the scale goes up....i did weigh and it was true...you retain water while one your period...and when you crave you want salty,sweet, and carb loaded foods....i have to make myself stay away from them...but i do alow myself to have one chocolatey item so that i dont pig out

      I have never compared but I bet it does since I feel bloated from retained water weight.
