I weigh myself every day sometimes 2 or 3 times a day.

Stop it!

Eden:
If I am not obsessing about every little thing I put into my mouth and exercising every day and constantly keeping track of my weight, I will gain weight. And even when I am doing everything right I'm lucky to lose a pound a week I'm not kidding and I'm not over exaggerating.

Honestly, I really think that you're supposed to lose only 1 pound per week if you are doing it right. None of this crazy HCG diet crap or low-calorie BS that screws up your metabolism anyway.

What are you doing for your thyroid? Are you on medication?

Either throw your scale in the garbage or just weigh yourself once a month if you feel like you MUST know your numbers.
OMG girl...I am seriously obsessive about this. Like in a crazy way! I weigh myself every day sometimes 2 or 3 times a day. I tried hiding my scale but it drove me crazy.

Same here!

I tend to stay the same or lose about a lb during AF. Depends on the month!

And once I threw my scale out (it was a crap one anyways) and I gained a ton of weight.

I wish I could say that I had a naturally high metabolism etc.. But the truth is I struggle constantly and I am still overweight.

I honestly have no idea.

Does anyone have advise on how to counter act this?

I voted yes, I usually gain 2-3 lbs, but mine is usually just before AF, in the 4-6 days before.

I usually gain a few pounds as well, but I think it's just water, so it should go away. Usually when I'm losing weight (like baby weight for example) I gain say 3 pounds right before AF, and then by the time AF is gone I go back down about 5, so in the end I still end up losing. Kind of like 3 steps forward, 5 steps back, if that makes sense.

I'm up 3 pounds today (stupid AF) and I am so pissed because I have been busting my arse to eat healthy and work out. It took me almost 2 weeks to lose those 3 pounds . So i feel like I just took a huge step back.

I have been telling myself over and over that it is just AF messing with me but I'm still pissed about it.

I usually go up about 3-4 pounds and then back to normal when she's gone :)

I voted I stay the same which is suprising because I crave sweets big time. I don't feel like working out, though. which sucks because I'm starting 30 day shred today and AF is due in 2 weeks
