Dieting anf Gained 3 pounds this week.?

Question:

I start dieting or as I like to say "Changed my eating habits" on June 15th of this year. I have since lost 23 pounds in 8 weeks. Or at least it was 23 pounds. I haven't cheated on my diet AT ALL, yet somehow I gained 3 pounds since my last weigh in a week ago. The only thing that has changed is that I started walking for an hour 4 nights a week instead of 2 nights a week and I am about to start my menstrual cycle in about 5 days. I know it isn't muscle gain because I have too much fat to burn for it to be muscle gain. By the way, I am 5'4" and started off at 190lbs and weighed in at 167 pounds last week and now weigh 170lbs(again). How does this happen? My goal is to get down to 120-130 lbs. Any experts out there that can explain why this would happen?

Answers:
You most likely answered your question. That being your period being very near. You may be bloated(water).

All in all, it is 100% normal for your weight to fluctuate 5 pounds. Water(hydration), bowel contents, medications,etc. Always weigh yourself the same time, under the same cirmstances, and only once a week. I prefer first thing after waking up and going to the bathroom.

Congratulations and keep up the good work!

First of all congrats for your weight loss!! Thats awesome. I don't know why you would have a weight gain if your not buillding muscle. It is time for your monthly period? I sometimes gain at that time of the month. I do weight watchers - I'm wondering if you just need to mix up your foods a bit and try some new things. Are you eating the same thing day after day? I tend to get like that thats why I'm asking. Please don't get discouraged you are doing a great job!
