Is It Normal To Gain Weight During Your Period? | PeopleTV

[dandanie._.]

I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one facing this. I've been on a calorie deficient and consistent with my workout and then period hit me towards the end of the week, mindlessly checked the scale and gained almost 3lbs. For a moment i freaked out.

[elixirelle]

i just hate it when im on a streak and my weight goes down quickly then days later my period says *hello*

[collarmole]

Seeing my body swelling during my period scares me

[leylaforever]

I tried a lot of diet. last week I decided to be very consistent to my diet the the period showed up I just saw the number on the scale going up and this made me loose hope I got back to my bad eating habits 😭😭😭

[hananbuttbutt]

i know but during periods weight gain gives me alot of tention

[leahhelpper]

I thought I was getting fat I was 130 yesterday now today I’m one 140 thank god it’s not fat it’s just water 😂

[TheSanoko]

because of my periods I'm bloated before, during and after I have them. I will never be free

[doncorleonen]

I love it. It's so concise and very straightforward.

[amayawright]

Thank god! I was so confused because I have been on a calorie deficit of 1400-1600 (sometimes I don’t even eat that many calories)and I have been doing good so far with weight lost and all of a sudden when my period comes I gained 2 pounds I was freaking out 😂

[haruna]

DAMN THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!! I was extremely afraid this morning knowing I gained half a kilo... I went on exercising even with my cramps, holding my pain and overworking myself.. But I was eager to loose all that weight so I weight myself before bed and found out I've gained a kilo rather than losing it... Honestly I was almost about it cry- I didn't have this issue in my earlier period months since I didn't get the routine of weighing myself daily but I do it once a week. But anyways I wanted to know why I gained weight so I ended up getting help from Google and YouTube! Thank you soo much! I can finally satisfy my period cravings rn. I've been holding back too much today

[andreaportillo]

Thanks I really needed to listen to this

[kurapika]

Holy shrap, I gained about 7 pounds in one week and I was like 0-0
I’m so happy to know it’s just water because I have been eating a lot of salty food

[lulumf]

Wtf I was 57kg now I’m 59kg IM SO SCARED

[radiofalcon]

I swear I gain about 4 to 7 pounds each month.. and then after my period is over I go back down..
7 pounds is the highest I've gone a few times. And this only recently started happening the last 2 or 3 years that I've noticed. Never had this problem before that. My face gets so puffy too.
It usually starts a week before my period up until it's done. I just assume it to be due to my endometriosis.

[ninia]

I was actually freaking out Thankyou for this

[MsParisiandoll]

So reassuring ladies, I was freaking out too❤

[hanaxslee]

I usually gain 0.5- 1kg 7 days before my period starts. So I do not weigh myself during those two weeks, only after my period finishs.

[karlinegedeon]

I love how she did the math lol
Thank

[TheHumanBodyTalk]

What a great video. I gonna break this down in a video!👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[africanchild]

I was freaked out yesterday. I have been in my weight loss journey since last months. Started with 72kg and I lost 2kg. I exercise daily by walking 10000km and changed my diet but last night I measured myself I saw 74kg on my scale I was surprised and disappointed. I told my friend that we train together she asked me if I'm on my period and I said yes, she said that caused my weight gain. She told me never to measure myseld during period or few days after my menstrual period. I came on youtube to do my search about that. Now I'm relaxed.
