    I can gain as much as 5-10 pounds in water weight. I try to watch my sodim during that time and drink a lot of water to help flush water out. I can usually tell because my whole body swells up, inculding my fingers where I can't wear my jewelry.

    Girl, I gain about 2 pounds before I get my period. I gain about 5 pounds total during that time. Don't weight yourself at all during your time... It'll be a baaaad thing to do.

    ME TOO! BLAAH! I don't step on a scale that week if I can avoid it.

    Ugh-- I'll start holding water before, it peaks during, and doesn't subside usually until the 3rd week. It's very annoying, as I only have but one week per month where hormones don't wreak havoc with my body. COME ON MENOPAUSE!!!!!!!!!

    depending on the month I gain from 0-up to 10. Keep exercising and drink a little extra water (yes that is the cure) and like mentioned above, maybe you just step away from the scale for the week.
