I got my period today at about 5 o'clock. My DH is telling me that's why I didn't lose as much as I thought I was going to. Is this true or is he just trying to make me feel betterChat Icon Chat Icon

It will absolutely screw with your weight loss. I gain about 2 pounds when I get my period so if it happens to be on weigh in day I am totally screwed. It's happened to me twice since I've joined ww. Both times my weight went up that week and both times the following week I had huge losses (over 3 pounds each!)

Re: When you have your period do you lose less weight?

YES! I used to hold onto 10 lpounds of water when I had my period!

My sitch is a little different. I was 25(knew since I was 16, but the dr, said no to worry)and had a huge dermoid cyst that went from one side of my pelvis etc to the other.turned out to be the size of a football!Chat Icon It was killer. I had to have it out asap and my wedding was just 7 days away! He let me do the surgry a month ofter,

It effects your loss! This week I stayed the same and was upset--but I had AF. I know normally I GAIN weight according to my home scale w/AF (3 pds usually).

So staying the same or losing a little while ANNOYING Chat Icon IS NORMAL.


Other posters told me that next week I can expect a big loss Chat Icon as can you I am sure Chat Icon

Re: When you have your period do you lose less weight?

some women retain water and weight the week before their period and lose everything the second day of their perios.

some women retain water and weight the week of their period.

I retain for bothChat Icon But it does drop off!!!Chat Icon


Little fact. During your period you actually burn more calories! So keep exercising and dieting during that week.
