[kbragg]

I caint stand the dang period pound fairy:wallbash: Every month like clockwork she drops in and over the span of 2-3 days give you extra pounds and a pregnant belly for no frickin reason at all:wallbash: She's evil, pure evil:nono: How much does she get you for?

On my update video I though she was being a little less demonic this month by just dropping 2lbs on me....well this morning the :censored: dropped 2 more:wallbash: I know it's just water weight but dang still!:wallbash:

I Think It Depends On How Big Your Body Is

[Cyd Chicago]

She puts 5 on me.

[chelleyrock]

2-3 pounds. She makes me look like I'm 4 months pregnant:nono:

[Avaya]

None. I don't bloat either.

How does your period make you gain weight exactly? Is it like water retention or something?

A good 4-5 pounds i hate that EVE i tell you not to mention all the extra cravings that you get right before it i eat like a pig

Mother nature always gives me about 5-7 lbs :blush:. The sad part is, she starts to drop the weight off a couple of days beforehand so right now I'm already up 2 lbs. and I know why:wallbash: I try to combat it by drinking more water,which is hard because I already drink a lot and taking water pills (seems to help some). I just wish there was a surefire way to keep it from happening :sad:

You crave carbs and I crave sweets and sours:look:. I can tell when I am out and about I start to want something sweets one after the other I can tell my period fairy is comming on. As soon as she leaves all the cravings stops.

I used to get up to 5 lbs easily many years ago.

For the last few years "she" actually gives me a couple pounds weight loss a few days before and during.

Does anyone get a decrease in appetite during TTOM? I experience cramping and it helps me a lot if I don't eat as much--I eat very little the first two days, that could be why I experience about a 1-2 pound loss of weight.

7-10. It lasts about two weeks and my face, arms, lower back and thighs Explode WITH FATNESS :look: I weighed myself this morning because she is starting today and yup, went right back down to my exact, pre-ovulation self. It's a nightmare :nono:

[tocktick]

0 - 1lb. I used to wish I'd be one of those who could blame a weekly increase on the scale due to Aunt Flo dropping by :lol:. It does make me feel and look really bloated though.

Me too! I don't get mad cravings or an appetite for anything. Although I don't like to feel full during that time but the lack of appetite is genuine. I avoid sugars and very filling/fibre rich foods like the plague.

[TrustMeLove]

I want carbs...like TORTILLA CHIPS...mashed potatoes...that's what I like..I remember I got back from a 5 day trip 7lbs heavier and 3 days later I was 7lbs lighter. :lachen:

I was like wow..that water weight stuff is real.

[Kurlee]

I just crave and can never get full! I want chicken wings and parmagiana and greasy stuff that I rarely normally eat. Ice cream, burritos, cheesey stuff :look:
