    I sure do! I retain alot of water and feel soo bloated. I continue with my work outs and drink alot of water and sometimes I feel even thinner by the time the week ends so it works in my favour lol!

    I gain weight every month during that time. I think it is just water retention and it usually comes off within a few days.

    I gain anywhere from .5-2 lbs; it depends, but it's mostly water-retention (I usually only over-eat the first day, then the cravings are gone). It comes off a few days afterwards. Don't worry about it! :)
