Question

Just curious what typically happens during your “time of month” week. Do you see any weight loss? Mine is coming up and I just want to mentally prepare myself lol!  

Answer 1

During that week I actually didn't lose anything and if I did it was maybe one to two pounds and then usually three or four days later I would have a larger Drop Like 3 to 4 lb

Answer 2

Although I tend to retain a lot of water when I am on my flow week

Answer 3

I often do not lose anything even gain 1-2 lbs but the loss usually shows in the following weeks - the IP electrolytes also help with water retention

I’m the same way.

Same here now that I’m closer to goal. Usually the 10 days surrounding my period I gain a bit. I was up 2 last week at my weigh in, but this week I was down 4. 5lbs.  

Answer 4

I still lost even though I was on mine, this was my first cycle and first week on ip. I was still down 6lbs on scale.  

Answer 5

My cravings, emotions, and everything kicks in. I'm bloated and weight loss is slow for 2 weeks. Dang!

@ley3 hahaha sometimes its sucks to be female but there are also so many benefits.  

Answer 6

I usually gain inches and the scale doesn’t move, but the following week is a good one!  

Answer 7

I gain 2-3 pds 2-3 days before my period and then drop the exact same amount the day after I start.

Answer 10
