I HATE my Aunt Flo!

Ya know, I lost 5 lbs last week, so I was SOO excited about weighing in this week b/c I was like "Maybe I'll be 265!" BUT THEN I looked at my pills yesterday, AND ALAS, I was on my SUGAR PILL WEEK. I hate that!!!! I can't even go weigh b/c I am about to start and I can feel it. I have to work from 4p-1a(like last night), and I am bloated, pimply, sick, and most of all ANNOYED BY THE WORLD!!!! I generally gain about 5 pounds when Aunt Flo visits, but I was wondering...

How much do y'all usually gain and do you even bother to weigh-in that week?

I never weigh that week. I am already somewhat a mess...another Medical Public Service Announcement...Saraphem is your friend.

I usuaklly gain about 5 pounds during that time and then about a day or two afterwards it will go away.

I hate that TOM too! I usually gain a couple of pounds, but I usually weigh myself. Then the next week when all that water weight is gone, it looks like I had a huge loss. So that usually makes me feel better. But if you want to skip that week, I don't blame you!

I might gain like half a pound on these weeks, but its not normally too bad unless Ive loaded up on alot of salt.

First of all...BIG HUGS...I hate AF too.

Since I've increased my water intake I have not had a gain during AF weeks...I generally lose a pound or hold steady. Not what you wanted to hear I'm sure.

Maybe try drinking lots of water to flush out all that water weight...and watch your salt (I am a salt fiend when she comes to visit).

Big hugs...

i weigh in during AF. I either am same as the weeks earlier weight or i am up 2 or so. I figure it will all even out so might as well weigh-in

Sure beats the alternative, though. I wouldn't complain, as long as it comes.
