I notice right before I get my period I drop about 3-4 pounds.

Geez, I've never heard of anyone dropping weight before their period! I suppose that it really depends on how our bodies react to our hormonal changes. I would say that it is likely any weight gain or drop around the time of our period is simply our bodies reaction to hormonal fluctuations, and so once our hormonal levels get back to normal our body weight does too.



I find that I get my worst food cravings one to two weeks before the onset, and then I gain at least a couple of inches in my abdomen and anywhere from 2-6 pounds the week before I get my period, and then everything is back to normal about mid-way through.



I guess the Lord, and our hormones, work in mysterious ways! LOL

Oh the joys of the 'Time of Month'......I'm like Miranda, I have a gain before mine, and then they (usually) vanish right afterwards. It's just the wonderful world of nature I guess ;-)
