Question for the Ladies

How much do you gain during the week of your period?? Since I have never really logged my weight I'm not sure what's normal.  And I'm really hope the 3 pounds I gained this week are period related. Would love to hear from you guys!

5lbs.

on average 2-5 lbs I have went as high as 10 lbs spoke to a Dr. about it and he did not seem shocked by it

I've gained 8lbs before. Just make sure you drink lots of water and try to abstain from salty foods and it should minimise the effect.

3-5 lbs

3-5 is normal for me. I get REALLY, REALLY BLOATED. Ne one know how to make that go away? Cuz it sucks and I get flatulent. And it makes my tummy uncomfortable.

Thanks guys!! I feel better and have calmed down a bit...I did everything perfect this last week and was expecting a nice loss only to find a 3 pound gain. I will blame on period till next week. I'll make sure not to eat anything salty and drink my waters. Thanks again :)

Got my period yesterday and gained three pounds in a day! It is so depressing since I am on a diet and now see the scale going in the wrong direction. I guess I have to wait a week now to weight and measure. Depressing!

i m with u, i have gained 4 lb. in two days, its really depressing, today is my day one,i m waiting for my periods to end, so that i can be assured that it is water weight not the dreaded weight gain.

I always gain at least 3lbs during that time of the month.  For me, the bloating is quite painful as I have pretty severe cramping.  I've found that "PMS tea" has really helped me out, it has a bit of dandilion leaf in it, which helps get rid of water retention.

I've pretty much stopped weighing myself duing my period...its just depressing and God only knows I don't need MORE emotional turmoil when Aunt Flo is in town

I feel like a bit of a freak or something lol! I tend to lose when I have mine!!!! I just got mine yesterday and I am down nearly 2lbs. Go figure, does anyone else get this or am I a bit adnormal?
