    Oh heck yeah! Very upsetting, but mine starts going up a week before I am to start. It sucks. My BIGGEST problem is the cravings during that time!! I cant control them!!!!

    I go up 5-8lbs. usually 3 the week before and then 5-8 the first 3 days then back down again. I usually do lots of ab stuff now to help with the outrageous cramps. It really helps.
  • Mine also does the same

    And do your recover from your beat down around the same time her period ends?

    Yes!! It sucks lol. I get all bloated too. This last one, my period was out of whack which it's never done before and I had "gained" 4 lbs during it, but it all went away plus some once I was done.

    I don't even know why the Men have to post anything in the thread. REALLY? Goes to show the immature sides I guess.

    Back on topic. YES mine would jump up about 3-4 pounds that week. You know I really hadn't thought about it since I had surgery a couple of weeks ago that I will have to see if I still have that issue. I just had a Hysterectomy so I will no longer have to deal with my Cycle or the Hormonal changes monthly (they took out my ovaries as well) So I will have to see how the rest of this month goes.

    Thanks for the thread ...Even though it brought out some idiots :grumble:

    Mine goes up when I am pms'ing, all my clothes fit tight, then when it actually starts, by day two I actually feel thinner usually. Also I eat more "junk" when I am pms'ing due to cravings so that probably does not help!
  • No joke, I can gain up to 8 pounds that week! I even talked to my Dr about it but he said its just my body. I stay FAR FAR away from the scale that week and always end up right back on track the following week. Stupid periods. lol.


    Are you gluten intolerant? I used to do that, in fact I have always had 2 sets of clothes, 1 a size bigger for period time I was so bloated. Since I stopped eating gluten (lots of other symptoms too, but won't go into those) it doesn't happen and I wear the same size clothes all month!

    .....does your weight go up the week you are on your period?

    And how much does it go up?

    yes! :(

    i get really bloated, so i look like i swallowed a beach ball, but my weight jumps almost 4 pounds the week before my period, and usually doesnt go down until the tail end of my period. :(

    OMG! This is the same thing I was wondering the other day because I just started a day or so ago and the scale went up like 2 pounds or so and I know I haven't eaten anything. It was a little dissapointing, so I am trying to stay off the scale so I don't sabbatoge myself. Sucks!

    Oh yeah, it goes up! Sometimes as much as 10 pounds! But I lose it all again right after, and usually some more. I usually gain 5 or hold steady. Then get massive losses the following week.

    yes... actually the week before it goes up it stays that way until after.. I usually go up 5 pounds... sometimes a bit less and sometimes a bit more.
  • Yup...about 2 or 3 depending on how i feel,what i eat,and how heavy it is.

    Mine actually goes up the week *before* my period, usually about 2 pounds. By the time I start, it's usually back down to normal.

    Just don't weight yourself that week, or only weigh once a month, and not on the week you get your period.

    Funny you should post this today. I went up 4 pounds on my first day. I was right back down 2 days later though.

    An easy 2-3 lbs.

    I initially freaked out, but once I realized it was a pattern, I stopped :)

    Omg yesss, its awful and really discouraging :frown: Last month i did soo well with my diet, felt slimmer in myself and i think it was 2lbs i gained even tho i didnt deserve to. I decided from then on im not getting weighed near TOTM, its too disheartening.
