my weight went up 5 pounds over the last four days. I an anticipating my period, but I have never seen this sort of jump. I am freaking out. I am not constipated and my diet has not changed. I guess if it doesn't subside during the week, I have no choice but to assume it is weight gain.

    At least some of that has to be water. You didn't gain 5 lbs of muscle or fat in 5 days.

    If you've been eating more sodium, sugar or carbs, you could see that sort of water weight before a period.

    thank you. I have been eating my fair share of carbs lately...I have to think it is water retention. I am preparing myself for some actual weight gain...but hopefully only a pound or so.
