    Very normal!!

    Lots of topics posted on this. Some gain as little as a pound, others upwards of 7-10.

    I'm on my third day and it sucks. :-(
    I feel vile. Have no energy to do exercise and everything hurts. I'm only thankful I don't have the ravenous appetite I usually have.
    I have actually been doing really well food wise this week, despite this. Just wish I had energy to exercise. :-(

    Fight water with water. Silly but its true. If you are retaining, up your water intake. I have pushed myself to drink at LEAST 8 cups a day, and I have lost almost 3lbs in just water this week.

    I know the feeling! I had it the other day. Finally got to 140 lbs and then suddenly I'm back to where I'm started 4 weeks ago, like the whole dieting was as good as useless. I really hope this you lose it after is true!

    I agree with previous poster about fighting water with water. I always go extra full force during that week and always lose weight.

    I find myself getting more and more disillusioned with MFP. It is a forum, you read the posts. If you are tired unto death of people discussing periods and asking questions then why on earth do you click on this post? Maybe it is old news to you but obviously this poster wasn't sure if gaining weight during her period was normal or not. Maybe she knew it was but has never dieted and wanted to know if it would pass when her period was over.

    Whatever happened to "There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers?"

    I'm still waiting for mine. I think it's because I ran and my uterus fell out.

    You might be slightly overreacting by calling it torture, but yes, menstruating sucks.
