Okay ladies?!!

Yesterday was the first time I started my menstrual cycle! Woke up this morning and I gained 3lbs in 24 hrs! Please tell me this happens during this time and that next week it will be as though I never gained anything!!!????

LOL!! Sounds like me! I swear.. I fluctuate 3 lbs on any given day.... I have been fighting these last 5 lbs for a couple of months... Earlier this week I was 201.7 and today I am 205.6.... All I can do is just shake my head... This is the first month of not taking my "pill" and my period is rearing its ugly head.. I am hoping I will drop these last few lbs once it's over...

Good Luck!!

Your body is retaining fluid. It will go away once your cycle is done.

Yeah thats normal for sure.

Thanks ladies...I was flipping out...looking back at all my MFP entries...for sure I couldn't possibly be doing something wrong...barely eat 650 calories daily!!

Thank you so much for posting this! I got on the scale this morning and I had gained and I'm used to dropping a minimum of 5oz a day. I was so worried because I started soft foods yesterday and I didn't like the correlation even though I knew my calories were good. I'm also about to start my cycle so I'm guessing that's the issue or so I hope

did you usually gain during your cycle? Wondering if it would be the same?

[shannondeaun]

Jill-i honestly never weighed myself..ever! Out of sight-out of mind, right?!! I wish i knew though. Would help make me feel better!!

I haven't had my cycle for two years because I have an iud which makes me very happy. I don't think I could deal with the pms and all this! I feel for you. I want to get to a healthy weight before becoming pregnant. Not like it won't be planned because I will have to use a donor due to being widowed or who knows what will happen in the next year to two. Maybe I'll find someone with my new bod.
