Period and weight gain

I had my first week of 4:3 last week, but I've gained 0.25lb this week (not a lot I know, but took me from the 8st 12s to the 8st 13s!)

My goal is 8st so I haven't got loads to lose and I know I will probably see a lot of ups and downs, however I just wondered if water retention from being on my period could be skewing it slightly?

I kind of hope so, then I might see a whole lb drop off next week!

Ooh very interesting, thank you :) I didn't even think about some of those things, definitely food for thought!
