    Did I do something wrong? (for girls only) sorry guys!

    I usually weight myself in about twice a week, well I got on and it said I gain 2 lbs! and few inches to my waist..I started my period yesterday could that be it? I am drinking more and more water, has not cheat I could eat snacks in between meals I guess....but that was upsetting to see!
    highest 230 ---- started atkins------current 175 lbs
    July 2009 ---------12/20/2009 ---------03/18/2010
    <------------------>

    I started atkins in late november but every other week just sort of fell off the wagon and was not working out..late december I started to really follow it and added the gym from november to december I only lost like 7 lbs not following it right..from december to march 18 I lost 50 lbs give or take depending what mood my scale is on lol.

    Yes. Did it never happen pre-Atkins?

      Absolutely could be your period. Some women gain alot more than that. Just keep following the plan and you will get the results you are looking for.

      PS... that's why I only weigh once a week

        Before I was put on medication I would gain 10lbs up to two weeks before my period and it would stay until my period was over. It was horrible. Now I gain up to 5lbs (salt gets me...). But usually it is just 1 or 2.

        My advice...NEVER weight yourself during this time.

            Hi SummerDressGirl,
            BTW-Your name reminds me of Springtime and Cotton Spaghetti-Strap Sundresses!




            Didn't anyone ever tell you, "NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, NEVER go anywhere NEAR your scale around your TOM".

            Water Gain and Tummy Bloat! Not a good thing. The Scale and TOM are worst enemies. I used to gain 8-10# during that time.
            (I am finally finished with that, but now my body argues with menopause weight gain---but I am finally winning!)
