How much weight do you gain during your period?

[CarlHickbread]

I always gain 8lbs without fail.

It comes off after a week and I get back on track with weight loss then I feel like I’m back at square one each month when AF arrives.

I’m exercising and eating a healthy diet but I’m finding this really disheartening. Does this happen to anyone else? If so, how do you combat it?

3lbs every time. Then it’s gone by day 4. It’s annoying but at least we know why! In fact sometimes I only know I’m due ‘on’ because my weight baloons.

A couple of pounds, never used to bother me but late 40's and need to lose at least half a stone. I eat healthily most of the time, enjoy a couple of glasses of wine or gin & tonic a few times a week and have choc at weekends. I know it would be best to give up these treats but don't want to feel deprived! Doing MFP to help with calorie counting and work out several times a week. I suppose this is middle age . Any tips gratefully received.
