    very normal, many tend to gain that week. your period usually comes with bloating- ie- water retention- which will cause the appearance of weight gain on the scale, but should disappear in time for your next weigh in.

    That TOM tends to make us retain water. I generally do not lose the week before or during but tends to make up for it about 5 days after it's over.

    Be careful not to give into PMS cravings... drink plenty of water (for me - I need to drink about 3 cups more a day than usual) to help prevent the water retention. Also watch your salt intake.

    I always gain between 2-4 lbs right before and it is the most challenging time with food for me as well!!

    Fortunately, I don't experience the bloated feeling like I used to, but I do not lose any weight that week or gain any.
