Weight around TOTM?

[getahellyeah]

Anyone else struggle with weight gain / bloating / weight plateau when you're about to get your period?

I'm sticking to SW to the letter and the sodding scales just won't shift. It's so demotivating. When normal service is resumed I often see a 3-4lb loss.

Reassure me that I'm not the only one who suffers this every month Is there any way to beat it? I drink tons of water.

Yes it's annoying isn't it? I'm breastfeeding at the mo so not an issue for me, but when I have periods I often find I'll sts or have a gain just before, but then get a good loss the following week.

Thanks owl. I'm hoping that I won't have a drastic weigh in tomorrow and can make up for it next week.

I just wish there was a way to avoid it...
