A question for all the women of CC

I have heard (from a few people) that it is pointless to diet while having a period because you can't lose weight during this time. I was wondering of any of you know if this is true, it has been bothering me and i'd really like to know.

Thanks

Completely not true. What some of us suffer from (myself included) is a temporary water weight gain. I just keep on eating right, exercising, and I weigh myself 1 day after the end or even later than that. I've never had any trouble with it if I can avoid the cravings.
