Ok ladies serious question. I have been losing weight 5 pounds in the past 2 to 3 weeks, but now my menstrual cycle has kicked in and I've gained a couple of the pounds back. Has this happened to you.??? Is it normal??? I don't want to gain the weight back unless it's in a normal way.

It goes away but I'd completely avoid the scale during that week as it will decrease your motivation if you see yourself at a couple lbs higher than normal1

Yes!!! I've gained 2.5 lbs this month because of that. Freaked me out but I know it'll be gone soon1

I was 148lbs last week. today I am 150.4lbs and due to start any second.
I track my weight every day, and you can clearly see when its that time of the month. I always increase 2-3lbs.1 -
Yuuuuuuuupppp.... just waiting to get through this week, then boom, back to where I had been trending. Aren't we just the luckiest?1

Yep, totally normal. I avoid the scale during my PMS time until after I'm completely done and then wait another couple of days until the water weight flushes out.1
