Ovulation weight gain?

[jillz]

Just been doing a bit of analysis and noticed that the weeks where I don't do so well (either STS or lose very little) are the weeks that I am ovulating.

I googled it and apparently it is common to gain weight through water retention/constipation at this time. Anyone else notice this?

Yep usually sts, but I always feel 'bigger' at this time & usually lose double the following wi, although for me it is bot actually the week I'm on, but the few days after I've finished, but I have always put an asterik on my card so I can c a pattern from the last yr

I can gain up to 4lbs on my totm I always feel really bloated it's not nice

I'm always massively bloated 11-14 days in.. its a killer! Id say I'm sometimes more bloated when ovulating than when actually due on some months xxx

Yup, get badly bloated before totm and poor tummy bloats out.

 

[ThinLizzy]

Yes!! I def notice it and can be as bad as totm or worse! I get really bad ovulation pains and fat tummy!

I always used to gain 7 lbs that week and lose exactly 7 the week afterwards. So each month I only had two weeks of actual losing

Thanks ladies, glad it's not just me! I'd always heard girls say they were bloated during their period but for me it would be the opposite, start getting bloated about 2 weeks in then once it arrives I almost immediately feel lighter.

I had a 1.5lb gain this week. Hope I get it off and more next week. My leader said as long as I recognise that ovulation week for me then I know why there might be a gain. I'm thinking though that I'll just have to try harder those weeks.

Dam these hormones!

Jillz - hormones are bugger!!!! I just finished a course of IVF so had 'forced ovulation' for abount a week..... - TRY A 13LB GAIN IN 2 WEEKS!!!!!!!!! lol....i ddnt even eat any cakes!

xx

 

[jillz]

Awh no! Nightmare! and no cake either?!

It's definitely a man's world - no hormones and masses more pro points than us! lol

I'm due my TOTM tomorrow and it's my weigh in day :-( feeling bloated but gonna go and fingers crossed for a STS or a loss! Xxxx

 

[jillz]

fingers crossed for you xx

Hormones are horrid. That's why men lose weight easier - they don't have hormones running around making them eat chocolate or gain weight for no apparent reason.

I tend to gain when I ovulate, and find it difficult to lose when I'm on, IYSWIM. Hopefully WW will be better for me than SW in this respect - I'm due on tomorrow and lost 3.5 lbs, which is more than I've ever done on SW at TOTM.

 

[SJH1985]

1/2 lb off for me and TOTM so pretty pleased with that! Xxx

 

[jillz]

well done girls! i'm being really really good. I so want to see my 1.5lb off and fingers crossed for a bit more...

 

[sarah88]

I cane in last night and at weigh in today only lost 0.75 lb so it has effected my loss this wk but the best thing is I no that's y I had a little loss, instead of thinking all my hard work was for nothing

 

[jillz]

Good for you Sarah! You're right at least we know the reason behind it and can move on from it xx

 

[SJH1985]

Here's to great losses next week! Xxx
