I have been told that when a woman gets her period it affects her weight. I want to know your thoughts about this, is this going to really affect my weight?

Thank you for your question. I agree with Susan that it depends on each woman. Although, I tend to feel as if an elephant is riding my back when I am on my period. My shoulders fell weighed down, my legs feel as if I am wearing cement shoes, etc.

Sometimes I think it is in our heads too. I know mine is since I weighed myself but there are others that do actually gain weight. Hope that helps. Tell the elephants to move.
