Menstration and weight gain

[sondra2368 26]

I thought that I was doing really well. I finally beat the 180 mark that took me close to a month to hit. All of a sudden my period comes and I gain 3 pounds instantly. I went from 177 to 180 within 2 days. I am so discouraged. I'm afraid that I will go back up again. I watch my food and exercise daily but the weight Jim has freaked me out.

I do the same thing every month, and today I have a weigh in. But as soon as I am done with it I go back down and sometimes even more. I get discouraged too but my doctor told me it's just natural and it will go away. You're doing a great job. Just take a step back from the scale until its over (:

That is exactly what happens to me, my period hits and I gain 3 to 5#s...it freaks me out when I see it on the scale, but it does go away. Eventually. I follow the program, but this does stress me out. Hang in there.

I gained 2 pounds overnight! I know it's just my period but it still sucked. A stall is one thing, but to see a 2 pound increase sucked.

Try not to step on the scale when you know it's coming. If you can, wait a 1 after it's done and get on it. Don't be discouraged!
