Not to sound gross or anything, but we are all grown-ups here. How may of you women only lose weight during your cycle. I can do the same thing all month long and not lose an ounce. I will actually fluctuate up a pound or two until my next cycle. I will then lose on average 5#. I know I should not complain because 5# a month is good, but I just don't understand. Anyone in the same boat as me?

I'm exactly the same way!! It's so frustrating to do everything right, but see nothing until the week after my period. I asked my Dr. and he said it's pretty normal. When I first was losing I lost for the 2 weeks after, but now I'm down to a week - about 5 lbs or so. I'm with you, 5 lbs a month at this point is still great, but its annoying to see the scale bounce for weeks on end :thumbup:

Patience is definitely a virtue when it comes to weight loss!

My weight loss seems to also be related to my cycle - week of my period - 4-6 pound loss - the week before and after 1 pound and 2 weeks post period 2 pounds.

Me too! I stay the same all month then just when my period starts I dump about 3-5lbs in a day or two. It's frustrating that the body waits until last minute to catch up for a months worth of work. :thumbup:

Yeah, it's funny that for the first time in my life I look forward to my montly gift!!! LOL!!! My doc also says that's the way some do. I just wanted to know if I was alone in this. Thanks you guys for your responses!

Mine should be starting up any day soon - hoping for a big drop!

Yep, mee toooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! Frustrates me to no end...stays the same and then a few days after I start I drop 3-5 lbs. WIERD! Oh well...........

I am lucky enough to have the same problem too!!!! I was wondering if it is due to not taking birth control pills for that week. It is so aggrevating to not lose anything for 3 weeks and have to wait that long for a few pounds to drop off. UGGGGHHHH:mad:

OMG! I'm not the only one! Sometimes it's so hard to stay motivated when the scale doesn't move ALL FREAKIN' MONTH. Obviously a hormonal thing, but glad to know I'm just like some of you others!
