Good Afternoon Ladies!

I have a question to ask you all. How much weight do you all gain around your period?

I notice I go up at least 5lbs.. All water of course. Just curious as to what you all gain...

Thanks

I *might* flucuate by a pound or so.

I don't gain weight--I just stop losing weight. Then after my period starts, I have a sudden "woosh" of weight loss, usually around 2 or 3 pounds.

I don't weigh myself the week before my period, because even though I know the gains are temporary, I really don't want to know.

I somehow don't gain anything at my TOM. In fact, I have been losing usually at least 1 pound. I make sure I drink a TON of water and watch my salt intake (I tend to crave salt at TOM). It seems to be working. The more water you drink the more your body will release. It's just like with food metabolism. The body holds onto things that it thinks it doesn't get enough of...so drink your water!!!

Hugs...
