For Women Only- Question re: that time of month
Hi ladies,
I'm curious if it is just extremely common to stall (or even put back on a pound or two) right before and/or during that time of month. I was doing SO WELL about a week ago (losing about .5 every other day by re-doing a mostly strict induction again).... then late last week, out of the blue, BAM! I gained a pound overnight, then another 1/2 pound the next day. Very frustrating-- considering my period wasn't due for about a week (would the stall and/or weight gain begin that early?). But I am working very hard at keeping my induction regimen, drinking lots of water, and hoping it all "pays off" after my period is gone (haven't started yet, but am due on Tuesday or so).
Any thoughts on this are welcomed. I've read/heard that a woman's period can affect stalling and slight weight gain. But I wanted to hear from as many women as possible to get the scoop. Also, after the period is over, do you usually experience a "whoosh" if you stuck with it during the process and didn't fall off the wagon?
TIA for your thoughts.
