Like, every two weeks before my period, it feels like my metabolism is slower and i tend to get more hungry? Iono and I gain weight like hell (110-111) but of course, its not all that once. But then a week after my period is over, im down to 105 lb im like wtf. So is it normal for you guys?

[NAN]

Do you normally weigh 105? O.o cuz you said.. 110-111...... umm 1 pound makes like no difference.

but yes, I do gain weight a couple weeks before my period. I only gain like 2 pounds or so. I think that's normal.
My mom always tells me that it's because my body is preparing for the blood loss from periods. *shrugs*

[chocolateturtle]

oh, i meant, im usually 105 but it ncreases to 110-111 lb 1-2 weeks before my period and my weight suddenly drops afterwards.

It depends on the person, but yes, it's not abnormal. So, don't worry.

you know how they say you get "bloated" .. yeah that includes weight gain .. it sucks. Remember that commerical w/ the woman stuggling to zip her pants ?? ... Ya it happens .. I'm normally 101 .. but I gain like 4-5 lbs on/right before my period. THANKFULLY my period is only 3 days .. and this "bloated" time is only like a week or less. But for 1 week a month I am fatter. EWW ..

Oh and BC Pills help stop this. That's another reason I wanna go back on it.

YES! I normally weigh 135 (I know, I'm a fatty ;o;...I'm pursuing a change in diet and Ock Ju Hyuns Yoga tape xD;), but one day I got on my boyfriend's scale (I don't have one at home, but he does at his) and it say 145! I almost died! But then the next day, or within the next few days, I got my period, and I saw a relationship, so I researched. Also, my aunt told me about this, she gains 5-10 lbs before her period. It is water weight, really. You maintain it as you usually don't. There's really nothing you can do about it, I don't think. I always feel really bloated and grouchy, but then after my period starts, I slim down and I'm okay again.

[YaMiTa]

are you serious??
before my perios i lose weight.. :S
like 2 or 3 kilos

[Joannnnnnnna]

Well, periods and weight gain are always very unique. Some people get sick during their period, some people get cranky before their period (PMS), and some people gain weight before their period. My best friend gets INCREDIBLY sick every time she has her period, like she throws up.

i think it's normal, you tend to eat more when your period's almost coming and you also retain water i think

[ikesan]

YES!

a week before my period, my whole body expands. Mmy arms, boobs, everything, especially my stomach. It will bloat so bad, and no matter how much i try to push it it/hold it in, it doesnt work! And i feel hungry all the time, cant stop thinking about food.

But once the period comes, everything shrinks. And i am no longer hungry. So i guess it's normal.

[Fallencorruption]

Yes, I get fatter T_T

It really sucks. Well, it actually depends on how much salty food I eat before my period. ('Cause, you know, salt makes you retain more water.)

[missie_h]

i think its perfectly normal to feel a little fatter just before your period cause of water retention??

anyways, i've heard that you wont gain weight regardless of what you eat when you're having your period...?? haha i wonder if its true hehe

You're probably getting pregnant and having miscarriages.

^ I'm a virgin unless you're being sarcastic
But thanks guys, I guess people have different effects from their periods.

[peachiez89]

hmmm- i think i eat less during my period but i dunno- it really varies for me. i hate having periods. i think guyz should have it. all they get it voice changes and growth spurt. and yes like every grl- i hate feeling bloated- makes me feel so FAT but once my period's over- im so happy!

[kaoru104]

my mom told me that its all the water weight ...

[chubzzy]

i never go weigh myself to know my exact weights before and after my period, but i do feel very bloated before my period, so i'll think "damn... i gained weight!"
but after my period i'll just go back to my original shape and size. or so i feel

[kyungxah]

yea it happens to me to..i gain alot of weight cos i guess for e to my mteabloism slow downs >.<

[<3goesDOKIDOKI]

yup normal.
your metabolism doesnt slow down, you just tend to eat more.
its your body's way of preparing for pregnancy, in which case doesnt happen once you get your period.
