No period = no weight loss?

So that's how I work, for 6 months now I get my period, then lose 3-4 lbs in a week, then nothing until the next period.
But this month I didn't get a period... as a result I haven't really lost anything, maybe 1 lb, and my weight has pretty much fluctuated up and down a couple lbs the whole time. Has it happened to anyone else? The only thing I've done differently is starting ChaLean Extreme, but I was doing Bodypump before so it's not such a huge change I'd think?
I know my TDEE is around 2000-2100 and I've been eating 1650ish (and weighing everything) so it can't be that I'm eating too much... I lost 6 lbs last month eating that much.

In period some women's gain weight (water), others lose.
Are you drink water? Did you ever try horse-chestnut/conker tree, helps to drain liquid from body, put the linfatic system working.
Maybe you need to decrease a little of your kcal a day, just for your body feel some changes, create new challenges for the body.
But try to drink more water often and tea Equisetum, Dandelion, Green tea (if you enjoy and don't have any tyroid problem, max 2cups day).0 -
My weight loss is not linear, and I usually drop on the scale a few days after my period. Could you be pregnant?0

Nope!
I drink a lot of water, tea etc. I honestly don't get it. It's frustrating!0 -
You can drink alot of water but maybe your linfatic system isn't working propely! Search for horse-chestnut/conker tree , i use caps.0
