Gain a pound or two on your period??

UGH I'm so frustrated!!!!!!!! I had got down to 159 last week, well really 158 then went to 159 now back to 161 I can't even believe it. How is that possible??? I'm due to start any day now and I know that I'll lose a few lbs when I start, well that's what happened last time I started. Do you all gain a couple of lbs the week before you start? I don't remember last time if I did or not???? This is really BUGGING me. Thanks guys!!!

Since I have kicked my scale addition (I only weight once a week on most weeks) I don't have accurate numbers. But I do know that I usually show a big loss right after my cycle which would lead me to believe that I had a gained some during the week before my period, and that gain plus another pound or two came off at my next weigh in date after my period ended. Hope this helps!

I usually gain a few lbs or stay the same one week before Aunt Flo visits and the week she comes in I typically lose it all plus a few more.

thanks guys. Since I've never been real regular I really have nothing to compare it too. I know last month I lost a few while I got my period but don't recall gaining right before. I just don't like gaining when I feel I've been eating right. I have really been drinking a ton of water today though trying to lose this extra 2 pounds. I do not like to see the scale go up. It sucks.

Janie- My scale is starting to bounce too- and that just started. My period is too irregular (although more regular post-surgery) to note any consistent changes yet... the up and down of the scale is tough- so I ONLY weigh in the AM and before bed. Holly

I also have the same thing happen. I usually stay the same, or gain a lb. Then i'll have a drop right after. The joys of being a women, haha.
