    Absolutely -- I usually gain 5 lbs of water weight, but I don't mind. It makes my weigh in the following week all that much better. lol

    Some people may also lose weight in that week but gain more the week after. It is totally dependent on how your body works.

    Yes. Water is retained when you have your period. From what I remember, about 2-3 lbs.

    Absolutely. Water weight, plus many women also become constipated due to the progesterone, so there's general bloatiness and weight gain.
    This month I put on 3kg (6.6 lbs) during that week! I lost it again within about 5 days. :)
