I tend to gain 2 to 3 pounds no matter what and I feel bloated. I usually weigh myself on Saturdays. When it happens, I watch my salt intake and drink lots of water. Then I will weigh myself on Tuesday to get my real weight.0

I usually do as well. I had a friend tell me that her doctor told her that up to 5 was normal.0

Yes it is water retention, I don't even weigh myself during this time. I gain about 5 to 6 pounds sometimes and feel awful for about a week. Fun stuff!! Don't weigh yourself til you're done and everything will go back to normal.0

I gained 4lbs for just over a week then as quickly as it came on it vanished.
Not fun.0 -
I have to remind myself where I am in my cycle every time I weight myself. I definitely gain 2-3 lbs around my period and feel like a cow. Yesterday I was double on my sodium intake...so there you go....Isn't being a girl just delightful?!0
