This has been a pretty consistent thing for me as a woman - the week of my period and up to 2 weeks after, I struggle to see any changes on the scale. Then gloriously my weight finally goes down a few pounds the next week. I can feel the difference when I pee a little more than normal. That’s kind of my sign that I’m not retaining as much water. I guess I’m in a normal phase currently and losing weight again which is great since I don’t expect my period problems to return until the last few days of this month/first few days of next month. I hope that means I hit my monthly target by the end of next week.

I do wish so much for the sake of my mental health that it would just come off 1-2 lbs/week. And not weighing myself isn’t an option. I need that accountability always. Just wondering how it’s going for others.
