I was just wondering on average how many pounds do you put on in water retention before your period? Just curious as mine started yesterday, and with my weekly weigh in today, I've stayed the same, and I suspect this is the reason, but I'd like to be sure?

    I'd put money on it - keep moving and drink loads and I bet you see a differnce next week.

    My nutritionist said up to 5lbs depending on what day of your period. I always stay the same weight or go up when I have mine. This week it was a one pound gain. Its tough to see the number on the scale but I'm just going to work out a lot and drink lots of water, hopefully next week I'll be back to loosing again! Good luck, don't let the scale fool you!
