    I can be up to 5lbs heavier but I weigh every Friday morning regardless. I know what to expect, so its not TOO disheartening.

    Yes, I weigh in - and usually if I can stay on track/not give into the cravings I can lose during TOM - because the week before I usually always am up or have not lost due to water weight - it's so frustrating!!

    I need your help girls...I am on my period and I am usually 2lbs heavier but this morning I checked and I am only 1lb off my usual weight, do you think that this means I have lost 1lb?

    No. Too depressing,

    I do, because I'm interested in how my weight fluctuates. Lately, it hasn't been going up during my period, just holding steady. I think the changes in my lifestyle have affected this and the lack of indulging in salty snacks that was typical a few months ago for me.

    OMG!!!! I'm so glad that I found this post! I weigh in every Friday without fail and I've been doing very well this week... was so proud of myself. I knew my period was going to start on Saturday and when I weighed in this Friday, I was down 0.4 lbs. I know that every little bit counts, but I was so discouraged. I've been losing at least 2 lbs consistantly. Someone mentioned to me that it could be my period, but I didn't want to be making excuses for myself. Now that I'm reading through some of these comments, I'm thinking that it might be valid. Whew!!! I'm so relieved!

    Yes, this week I lost 2.6lbs. Doesn't seem to affect my weight.

    I gain the week before actually and went up 4 lbs.. I still have mine but its last day and very light and already the 4lbs of water that went on has gone back off PLUS an additional 2 lbs so I'm now 2 lb lighter than the weight I was just before water went on.

    It will come back off again, its only temp gain so I never bother recording it, losing anything the rest of the month seems harder for me than losing at TOTM!

    I was just wondering if anyone knows if we use more calories during our period? And how many? Surely all of the muscle contractions and forming a new lining must use more energy than on a "normal" day?
