So I thought I was doing decently good and I get on the scale and apparently in 3 days I gained 2.5lbs????? I haven't been super strict but I have been staying within my WW points! I am past due to be getting my lady friend (it just comes whenever it feels like it at this point)so I am really really hoping it is excessive bloating from that... Do you guys experience weight gain before aunt flo comes to town?? I always felt bloated but I never thought it would make this much of a difference! It is making me feel like I am doing something really wrong.. I even did the 30 day shred at 7 this morning to try to make myself feel better!

I have heard that your weight (number) will fluctuate about 3 to 4 pounds right before AF. So I would guess that the 2.5 pounds are coming from there.
Also try to weight yourself around the same time everyday cause even during the day your weight fluctuates about 2 to 3 pounds.
If you are watching your diet and being active I am sure you are doing fine.
Don't get discouraged. And keep up the good work.

Don't stress - you know you shouldn't weigh yourself more than once a week, anyway! That's a WW rule! Your weight fluctuates each day and for a variety of reasons - keep in mind the big picture! (And drink more water so you can pee it out... you'll feel better!) LOL

Yeah I know I shouldn't but I am not staying at home because I am dog sitting and I tried out the scale here the other day to make sure it is accurate...Now my weigh in is today and I can't bear to see it say I gained weight!!

If you watch biggest loser... that happens all the time. They work out a ton and then gain one week. I think its just part of the process that we don't fully understand yet. Don't be discouraged. Just keep doing your best... in the long run, you will lose the weight.

Also, you just said it was a different scale you used... which could affect the numbers completely. All scales are a little different.

I always gain a few pounds before and the later it is, the more I gain. So I'm sure you'll go right back to normal after Aunt Flo leaves.

Re: UGH...I am so frustrated with my diet!!!!
That's strange...I usually weight 2 or 3 lbs less the week before my period. But I agree with the other posters...not only should you weigh yourself at the same time each day, but the same location, too! You are going to think I am crazy, but if I move the scale into the bedroom, sometimes I weight differently than I do if I weigh myself in the bathroom. LMAO. I also agree, only weigh yourself once or twice a week. Your weight fluctuates day to day. Also, if you workout in the morning and then weigh yourself at night, you are not necessarily going to weigh less. It takes some time.
