WHEN YOU LADIES ARE TRYING TO LOSE BODY FAT. DO YOU STOP LOSING WEIGHT WHEN YOU GET YOUR PERIOD? AND IS IT FROM WATER RETENTION/ OR DO YOU JUST QUIT LOSING. IM A BIT CONFUSED/ MOST OF YOU KNOW THAT I AM TRAINING MY WIFE. SHE HAS LOST 25 LBS SO FAR BUT WHEN THAT WEEK HITS SHE STOPS. JUST LOOKING FOR SOME FEMALE EXPERIENCES WITH THIS? THANK YOU, ------------------ "PAIN IS TEMPORARY, PRIDE LASTS FOREVER" ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I always put on 2 or 3 pounds of water then. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I have always been a 5-6 pounder as far as water weight. I feel like a whale! It starts the wk BEFORE my period as well as the bad carb cravings. The week of my period the water and cravings diminish as fast as they came. It evens out for me since I eat like crazy the 1st wk then have no appetite the 2nd wk. I have always felt I lose more weight due to feeling better and working out harder the two "good" wks out of the month. I do think you can lose weight at any time you just may not see it the week she's bloating. If she's staying even that wk she probably is losing fat and just gaining the temporary water. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Yep, ditto for me too. Don't lose anything, gain a few. Feel gross and bloated, so I eat a little chocolate to make myself feel better. Its an oxymoron, but it really helps. (Dont try and understand us, we dont understand ourselves during PMS) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I try my hardest to ignore the symptoms of PMS. SOMETIMES it works. I definately feel like I hold more H2O all over the week before my period, but I don't think it necessarily stops fat loss. Don't let her use menstruation as an excuse for mental weakness. She's got to stay on track and just live with the fact that she may hold H2O for a week or two - but it will go away. Of course you could always load her w/ roids...That'll stop her period and give you a whole bunch of other stuff to deal with! J/K!!!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||
