Weight gain right before period time?

Question

Hey guys so I.am about to get my period in about 6 days and I have been having some mild cramping lately.  I am on a weight loss journey and was making great progress but unfortunately gained about 3 pounds back in a matter of two days. I have been eating pretty healthy and have even worked out. I am feeling very discouraged. Does this ever happen to anyone ? Is it normal to gain a few pounds before you get your period?

Answer

Yes! I can be up about 5 lbs before my period, and then it all comes back off after I get it. I think it must just be water retention from the hormones? Totally normal!

Answer

I always boost up before my period, somewhere around 6 lbs and I get really swollen ankles. All that magically disappears once AF arrives. Keep an eye on it, but I’d say that’s normal and there are lots of women who have weight gain immediately before AF.

Answer

Oh yes!!! I gained 10 lbs last month when mine came on. Then after it went off the weight came back off. So just keep going it will be OK 😊

Answer

I am having the same problem I was making good progress in my Weight loss journey. I worked my ass off more than ever this week and I only lost .4lbs. I’m just trying to stay positive and not eat out of depression and keep working hard even though I’m not seeing any progress right now because I know as soon as my period starts I will lose a couple pounds.
