The dreaded 'monthly' is my new friend!!

[mummy-to-two-monkeys :)]

I thought id read or someone said that when your on your period you retain water and end up staying the same or putting on - I just got on my scales (naughty me, I know) and ive lost 3lbs since thursday am hoping the scales are right because i'll get my half a stone award on thursday at weigh in YAY!!!

Whats happened with other people in their 'star week'?

Normally the week before I don't get a true weight loss if you like, I can put anything from 1-5lbs on!

Comes off the week after (* week) though!

Sorry if this is tmi but before I was on the pill my periods were really heavy and I used to lose about 4lb every star week. Now I suffer more with bloating and usually have a sts or a half off.

Ive had even more of a shock today, just got on the scales and its now saying 4lb off for this week

Im on the pill at the moment which have calmed my periods down thank god! Maybe the week before im due on I retain water or something?! Will see if theres a pattern next month

i lost 6lb at last weigh in (in 1 week) then got my * the day after....so i don't know really when im bloated etc....i lost 1/2lb 4 weeks ago....so maybe i was bloated

hmm- i'll know by next tuesday, lol

I don't have a proper TOTM because of the contraception I use, but still have a STS every four weeks! I think the hormones are still doing their thing in some respects!
