Weight in question ***woman only

I do weigh-in, my weigh-in last week was when my period was beginning and yes I was bloated but the scale was still down 2lbs. I try to drink lots of water even though I feel bloated.

i was just talking about this today with a friend! i'm currently during that dreaded TOM and i've maintained my weight throughout it. nothing lost, nothing gained. not even a few ounces. i'm curious to see how far, if at all, the numbers on the scale will go down once it's gone. for me, i still weigh just because i want to check in and see where i stand. for u, do what u feel most comfortable with. if u know ur going to get discouraged by a weight increase, even if u know it's probably water retention and/or bloating, don't do it. if u can handle, go right ahead!

I don't weigh myself daily, but if I am up 5-7 lbs..I know it's coming.

I weigh in, just to see what the scale says, but I definitely don't enjoy the jump in numbers. Nonetheless, a gain of 2-6 pounds during your TOM is normal. Don't worry, it will go away :happy:

I weigh so that I can know how much I usually retain. I've learned that I tend to gain between 2-3lbs of water weight around my period so I never stress it since I know it will disappear.

I just think its interesting to see the fluctuations. I don't let it bother me since I've been trending downward since I started this.

I like to weigh daily.

same here, i'll gain a bit before and during and then right after it all will drop off. it sucks that it takes a month to feel that glory, but it is what it is :P

I weigh in daily no matter what. I understand that I will fluctuate,and it just motivates me to work harder!

I weigh-in every day, first thing in the morning and before I get dressed. I really believe it helps to motivate me throughout the day. If I'm down a little... I'm encouraged! If I'm up a little ... I can reflect on what I did (or didn't do) the day before that may have had some impact. VERY IMPORTANT... keep drinking lots of water! It helps to keep the body flushed out and keeps you from retaining excess water. Good luck!!

I weigh in everyday. I know that water weight/PMSing and every other little fluctuation can effect it. BUT it gives me the momentum to try harder for that day if I see the number go up at all. BTW: I found out that I gain about 7 POUNDS the week before I get my period. CRAZY! But I usually drop 5.5 lbs. once I actually begin my period and once it ends, I'm usually down even more then what I started at. It helps me to know exactly what my body is doing and keep me going even through the ups and downs.

I'm the same way. I know it's from my period though, so I don't worry about it. However, even though I weigh myself probably everyday, I don't log it on here everyday, so I don't see those ups and downs on the line graph here. If I have a drop and then a gain here it's because I made bad choices, not because of mother nature.

honestly I weight myself once a month because I work hard reasonably for my weight loss. f I weight myself very often I wont see a lot of result consequently I get discouraged so instead I weight myself every month and see pleasing results!!

I made a pact with myself 6 years ago not to ignore my weight - I had got to my heaviest through ignoring my weight. So I weigh daily.. sometimes it bugs me mostly it doesn't. I know I go up with TOM and that is acceptable. it goes eventually - if I don't hit the chocolate! lol

I use to but it makes me depressed and not want to keep going. I'm going to have to only weight in weekly and skip this week.

Yes, I do. Usually it's up by about 4 pounds but I try to keep that in mind and don't let the number bother me....too much!:happy:

My favourite time to weigh in is when my period starts! LOL I am not sure if this happens to anyone else, but I seem to lose the most amount of weight DURING my period -- its the couple weeks before that I tend to hold onto weight. Which really sometimes gets discouraging...
