I am post weightloss and have never paid attention to my weight closly before. Just gained and gained.

However I am trying to keep a close eye on it to prevent regain and was shocked at the scale this morning (day 4 of period)

Half a stone for me - I’m 9st normally

FamingolosForDays · 17/12/2025 20:06

Around 4-5lbs for me
ETA- I normally hover around the 9st 2lbs mark

5lb but I'm 12.5st anyway

Up to half a stone but I’m a fair few heavier that 9st!

Ah thankyou,
I weighed in at 9st7lbs and was shocked!

I have started on the Xmas choccies and panicked 😅

I will hopefully drop back down then.

Depends. I’m on HRT and probably bang on menopause now as opposed to peri but I do still have a bleed each month

I’m usually about 9 st 8 ish but can fluctuate to 9 st 12 ish across the month. I’ve maintained for a year now and see between these weights most months

I don’t notice any particular pattern related to my period. I’m 15 stone and my weight fluctuates by maybe about 2kg depending on the day.

Fluctuation can be anything up to half a stone. I suspect it's a combination of water weight and constipation at that time. Always drops back down. I'm happy hovering at 9s6lb, if it hits 10s I know it's weight gain.
