Oh the joys of being female!
I don't find it affects my weight too much but it really boosts my desire to eat, particularly sweet stuff. I'm not on a contraceptive so get the full whack of hormones and it's a constant battle with food for those few days.
I stick to the plan, make the most of free foods and usually max out my syns to 15 each day. So far I've still had a loss on these weeks but it's the hardest won loss of the month!

And even though you logically know where that gain has come from, it doesnt really make you feel any better does it? x

Oh god I'm scared! I wondered what SW called TOTM 
On some its called shark week haha. Star week sounds more innocent but clearly it isnt!
I have my second weigh in tomorrow but I can feel I'm going to start today or tomorrow. I feel huge but am still proper on track. I lose 5.5 in my first week so I'm scared its going to go backwards again

All_about_the_climb - you're doing brilliantly with your losses, so i'm sure you are just suffering from Star Week bloating! Good luck at WI. And LolaCola - sometimes it just has to be done. I try to have carb days & use my HEX B on choc hi-fi bars to get me through! Hope you have a good WI on Monday

Well alarmingly for me, and I always have to be different, I laways have my gain or sts mid cycle and then the mini loss when the star week is here so I have 2 weeks to contend with. Next week#s WI is the mid cycle one and I only need a pound to get back to my 4 stone award - I have gone back over my last 16 months with SW and every 4 weeks there is a gain so grrrrr is all I can say. I am determined to break tghe cycle ( no pun intended ) and get that pound off this week. Quite how I am going to do it, I have no bleeding ( another pun! ) idea! lol x

Me too, small loss star week but almost always sts 2 weeks later no matter what I do! Hope it doesnt happen this month got 2 weigh ins before my holiday and just 4lbs till club 10! Really want to get there before I go (even though I'm not going to be fully on plan and will gain when I get home) but after club 10 I have 3lbs to target!

Crossing my fingers for ya! I did literally sit down last night and go through all 73 weigh ins and its there in black and white, every 4th week! I am being ultra good this week in the hope that I can make it different this month. I just dont get it really grr

Thanks! I know its disheartening but as soon as I realised the pattern (rather embarrasingly in a lightbulb moment infront of a visiting male consultant when he asked if I knew why I had maintained lol) I've learnt to accept that if it happens and I stick with it, I will get a loss the following week. It's a pain in the backside but at least there's a good reason for it!
