Answer #1

Being on your period can affect the amount of water in your body. Most girls are lighter on the period days, for loss of liquid. But some get water in their legs and are thus heavier. Depends a lot on how your body handles the hormone swings.

Answer #2

being bloated makes you put on weight around your belly

Answer #3

thanks, i usually weigh myself on my period and im lighter but when im done with it i weigh more and it makes me worried but now i know that my period could be causing me to weigh less it should stop me from worrying as much when i gain weight

Answer #4

It’s most probably just water. Many short term weight losses and gains are water.

Answer #5

i know its normal for your body to swell and make you feel like you have gained weight x

Answer #6

my body doesnt swell and i actually loose weight

Answer #7

Your so lucky ! :) x

Answer #8

not really because the weight comes back as soon as my period is over

Answer #9

For up to 10 days prior to menstruation your body starts holding back water. If you weigh during this time or during your period you will weigh more. The best time to weigh yourself is just after your cycle.
