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.
Ah, the joy of being a man.

@bob_ what about receding hairlines for the dudes? =)
When I had the problem 10 pounds easy.
5–10 pounds.
Sometimes ,it feels more like this
@bob_ LOL You are a brave, brave soul
i have no idea but it makes my pants tighter then i feel like a fat lard and a balloon that is about to pop.
@diavolobella I know! I feel like I should get an award or something.

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.
I’d probably say 5–10 pounds. Sometimes less, but I definitely feel it when trying to button the jeans.
5–10 plus a whole lot of cranky.
5–10 pounds. It’s pretty bad, but I’m glad it’s the same for you girls as well as me.
4–6 pounds. And like @mama_cakes, I gain it in other places, too…like my thighs.
YES! These answers give me hope, I’m bloated right now!
@ShadesOfWhite lol!!!!!!!!!!! that made me laugh really hard. not sure why. i sympathize. :)
