Its been a few months since my last period but I did put on weight every single month around that time. Usually around 3 or so pounds. But about a week later I would be right back down to normal. I do know that I always craved salty things around that time of the month too so a lot of it might have just been a result of pigging out on salty foods.

Default OMG!!! Too Funny!

Sometimes you think you're alone thinking certain things...glad to hear others have these same "issues" and questions...LMAO

I finished mine on Monday.....was expecting BIG things to happen afterwards.....today is Wed and the scale only went down 1/2 lb.....thats why I'm praying it goes down 2lbs on Friday....I'm saying my prayers anyways.

A lady at my work (who lost ALOT of weight)....said her scale went up during her "curse" and didn't go down until approx 5 days afterwards then she resumed. Thats why I figure Friday is going to be my lucky day! hahaha

Ugh! This is REALLY science isn't it!
