Girls, come in!

Cut back on salt, move a little, and just skip the scale those days since it's only temporary fluid and nothing to worry about.

Same thing happens to me so I just quit stepping on the scale during my period and give myself a full week off tracking. Once it's over I'm back to normal with no actual gain. It used to stress me out a lot and I even tried lymphatic drainage massages which did help. Be kind to yourself.

Salt always does that to me.

I'm on my cycle now and even tirz isn't stopping the cravings for sugar and salt. There's not much junk around but I'm still eating more than usual and this month feels especially bad. It doesn't happen every time. I won't weigh until it's done and I've had some normal days again.

Weigh the week after your period instead of the one before it. Your body is still going to do its usual thing once a month no matter what.

This is completely normal. I usually wait several days after my period ends because weighing too soon means you're still carrying water and inflammation. I drink extra water with electrolytes. Sometimes while losing weight your body holds fluid and then you get a sudden drop after a plateau.

I was just wondering about this myself. I can carry an extra five to seven pounds that vanishes once my period ends. I get really hungry the week before but the medication has helped control that some.
