For me, it’s usually 5 lbs. Not particularly happy about it, as this weekend, I’m supposed to fit into a form fitting number.

3–5lbs. I’d end up looking like a starvation kid with bloated belly and sticklike elsewhere.

I just don’t gain it in my belly. I can it everywhere.

11.5 pounds it’s a major shock to my confidence since I’m still working on losing weight.

Two to three pounds. It used to be more like 5, but I try to push more water and it really helps to keep the bloat down.

Two pounds. It starts about two days before my period and on day 2 or 3 I pee every 20 minutes for three hours and it’s over. One time I was on a flight, not in the aisle row, when it hit. I had to get up 5 times on a 2.5 hour flight, and usually I rarely need to use the bathroom on such a short flight, at the most once. The guy next to me must have thought I was having a real problem.
