Why do I feel bloated and heavier before my period?

Hormonal shifts make your body hold more water in the days before your period, so the scale can rise by a kilogram or two and clothes may feel tighter. It is temporary and not fat.

Compare your weight at the same point in your cycle, and expect it to settle within a few days of your period starting.
