So normally I am not like this but I had been seeing some great fitness progress the past couple weeks and no I feel like its gone! I have my period this week and the few pounds I was down I am right back up...i know that's normal but i need someone to tell me it so i REALLY believe it! I feel like I am working so hard and i hate to think that i messed up and the weight is not from period weight! Agh...why do we care so much about this ladies?1

Lauren, I'll tell you one thing- in High School I was 105 pounds NO muscle and a size 2/4 now I am 125 got muscle and a size 2/4. The scale LIES when you are muscular. You can't go by that. Also, period does tend to bloat you a little bit. Stay away from salty foods and drink a lot of water to combat the bloat!

The scale drives me nuts...girl you look amazing!!
Theres a book thats supposed to be really good, geared towards fitness models and competitors called 'burn the fat, feed the muscle'...I think its a lot more advanced than most other det/fitness books.

It is totally normal for you to platuea (sp) at some point but I don't think that is what happened to you it is definitely the bloating etc from your cycle. Drink alot of water no salt or asprin and you should see a difference in a few days.
Don't give up the end result is so rewarding!

Awwww Lauren, dont feel discouraged b/c we all go through it. I lost 4 lbs and then yesterday I went back up 2 lbs.... I felt so disappointed!!! But, I am just going to keep going back at it today and try to work out again. Your period def. has something to do with it b/c you feel bloated and yukky anyway... but dont let that fool you and make you reach for those potato chips. Be strong Lauren!!!!

Re: Feeling discouraged..
Its definitely normal. When I was going to WW I would weigh in each week and during the week of my period, my weight would go up, and the next week I would continue to lose. During that week I would gain anywhere from .4 to 2lbs so dont get discouraged.

Re: Feeling discouraged..
well im no fitness expert but doesnt muscle weigh more than fat so if your'e gaining it could be muscle weight
ETA: yes, i too gain a couple pounds extra around period time... and stop working yourself so hard... you'll end up with a complex.... believe me, my mom is the same way and shes determined to weigh a certain amt (which is like 2 pounds less than what shes at) and shes thin but doesnt see it
