weight question for the girls

[miss missy]

Do you weigh more or less the week before your monthly cycle?

TIA

I am alwaysup before my cycle. I take BCP and I can always guarantee that the last two weeks of pills I will usually have a gain when I weigh in. The trade off is a couple of days after starting I see a loss and the following week is usually a loss too.

I was curious because last week WI went up and it shouldn't of. I think this Sat at WI I will see the loss too. Thanks!

I usually loose less the week AFTER TOM. I know for alot of people it is the week before or during. Guess I have to be different and have it be the week after.

I'm struggling with this right now! I weigh everday and I'm up 1 pound from yesterday. I didn't eat anything unusual. I also work out like a mad woman. Wednesday, I worked out three times at the gym! I was pretty discouraged until I tried on my size 10 slacks that I could barely get over my hips and wouldn't zip at all once I gained 30+pounds. Now I can get them on and if I hold my breath, even zip them. That has to be progress so I'm trying not to get frustrated that TOM is going to start any time now and my weight is up a bit. If I get upset, I'll head straight for a double fillet at McDonalds and who needs that?

Nothing happens before my cycle. During I lose 5-10 pounds that generally comes back at the end of my cycle.

I'm always up a few pounds in the days before my cycle. For one thing, I retain water, as lots of people do. Also, my cravings for sweets get so much worse-like "Give me that dessert-I'm PMSing!" For the last few years, as my time of life dictates less regular periods, my weight has become my first indicator that TOM is coming. When my weight actually goes up and my cravings for sweets get super-strong, I've known that I'm about to get TOM.

Well I will watch closer next month but I did lose 3.8 today at WI. So it looks like i am in the gain the week before catagory. I'll see next time what happens.

i gain now, but depending on which bcp i was on i sometimes wouldn't have any water weight gain. the bcp i'm on right now is awful i'm thinking of changing back to yasmin, i would never gain water weight and had no cramps on it. it just made me crazy. haha.

I always gain before. I then spend the next 3 days in the bathroom.
