Do you gain loads of weight...

[moonface73]

Before your totm? Mine started today (a few days late),and i am 4 pounds over!!!

yep it's normal to gain up to half a stone. The gained weight just falls off as soon as my period starts, it's caused by water retention

YABu that's a very personal question

Yup. Stomach sticks out about four inches further for a few days.

Foxy!

Yep definitely, about eight pounds. Therefore the best time to start a diet is just before tee hee.

My stomach visibly swells too. Not good.

Yes and a couple of inches around the waist. It's really annoying.

Weigh again about four days in btw.

Will do Rhonda, thanks.

It is so so so much worse now after second child!

Yep. I sometimes go up a whole dress size. It's not weight per se, it's bloating.

I do at ovulation. Weird.

Yes, i do too in non diet mode but diet mode i stay the same weight for a few days! I do not think this is a veery personal question at all! :)

I also bloat badly after I've done a nightshift. Is weird.
Agreed that water retention is the most likely culprit.

Yes, at least 4-6lb, up a dress size and all bloated. Can be counted on to happen with 100% reliability when I have a hot date. Usually accompanied by a coldsore to add insult to injury

Oh yes, it can be the difference between clothes fitting or not. It's horrible. Takes me a few days after it starts for it to go but it does go.

Yes...I also have the urge (never given in to) to exercise

Hi, we've moved this into the Weight Loss Club.

Why has this been moved into Weight Loss Club? It's not about losing weight!
