- Barely made it but I did it! I’m extremely proud of myself. I started my period for the first time since having my youngest (he’s 14m old, why start it now, body??😒) with a week &; half left of the game and had “gained” about 5ish pounds. I probably could’ve lost a little more but I definitely ate my period cravings aka chocolate chip cookies 😂😂 think I’ll enter another game!
