    I get that also, but really not much you can do other than keeping your salt intake low. I tend to have extra weight on for a two or three days. But kinda nice to see the scales weight drop down once it goes :P

    Unfortunately other than cutting down on your sodium intake, especially during that time is about the only thing you can do besides upping your water intake! It's just part of how your body works, frustrating yes, but it goes away!

    Yes, a little bit, mostly in your belly and thighs.

    It's said to, but just drinking regular water will also help. Some say parsley helps as well, there's lots of "remedies" out there is you Google a bit.

    Hormones

    I accept that it happens every month, expect it and then am happy when the scale drops after it's all over.
