Normal to gain like 8 pounds before your period?

Question

Literally, the other day I weighed myself and I was 167 and tonight I'm almost 175. I feel bloated, not constipated because I've been going to the bathroom regularly (everyday). Like what the hell!? I know I stopped working out but I'm not eating more either.

Answer

Absolutely, it's water retention.

Answer

1. Yes you gain weight during your period. Couple of days ago I was 132 lbs, weighed myself today and I was 138! (And I started my period yesterday)
2. Don't weight yourself at night, like someone mentioned, you've been eating and drinking all day.

Answer

Yup. I normally gain somewhere around 5-10 lbs.

Answer

You're never supposed to weigh yourself at night! You ate and drank liquids all day, of course you're gonna weigh more. Also before my period I always way more, it's normal. Don't worry! Weigh yourself first thing in the morning after you wake up for a more accurate weight.
