I dont think I ever weighed myself during that time of the month. How much weight do you put on? Do you put it on before or during your period? How long does it take for that weight to go away?

Mine puts on 2-3 lbs about 3-4 days in advance and then goes away when I'm done...

I usually put on a couple of pounds, but it is the added 2-4 inches I put on around my abdomen that kills me every month!

I usually gain about 5 lbs the week before i start my period, but by the end of my period the weight is off. It's all just bloating.

However when I regularly take primrose oil during my periods I don't, so I really should get back to taking that.

I can gain as much as 3-4 pounds due to my period, usually starting about 4-5 days before I get it and lasting until about 4 days into it.

Me too.....the bloating gets to me more actually. I can deal with a few pounds that I know are going to be gone, but that icky feeling of bloat, and having to squeeze into certain pants REALLY gets to me!!

I was just thinking about this this morning, thanks for asking! I usually gain 2-3 lbs a few days before I start. My period only lasts 3-4 days but I lose the extra water right away & even lose 1-2lbs more than when I started. So I end up feeling kind of "skinny" after losing almost 5 lbs in the span of 4 or 5 days, LOL.

Go.

I have that happen after my period too, not every one though....but it's still a great boost when it happens :-)

I usually gain about 3-4 lbs a few days before it starts, and then it's gone by the last day.
