ya its just water weight. one week i weighed myself and i had gained like a pound but i had been really good all week, working out and eating well. and then when i weighed myself the next week i had lost around 5 pounds. so the weight i had lost the week before showed up then bc my body had gotten rid of the water. it was scary though, thinking i had gained weight. so try not to worry about it.

well when you get your period, your body is preparing itself for a possible pregnancy, so its all water weight

yeahhh its completely normal to gain anywhere from 1-8 pounds while you're on your period. just make sure to drink LOTS of water while you're on it, and just wait until the following week to weigh yourself.
