Well we all know about that monthly water weight and bloating...but which week in the cycle is the water weight a problem...is it a week before your period or the week of your period? I am one week before and i am doing everything right and still the scale hasnt budged since last friday and infact it has actually gone up 2 pounds...very frustrated.

Do you all find that water weight during that time of the month really slows down your weight loss for that week? I guess it all comes out in the wash though, since the week after it is over you, ideally you would lose the weight you normally would PLUS the water weight your period packed on.

It's the week of my period here. But maybe it's different from one person to the other. You can see if this trend occurs the following months as well.

I'm with Shawna,if I drink enough water I don't feel bloated...but when I am bloated,for me,it's the few days before my period.
