No one tells you about periods...

On the path to weight loss, no one says 'Your period will be one even more hateful when trying to lose weight'. Fluid retention: confidence killer.  I was down at about 94/95 kg roughly. This has now shot back up to 97.5kg. Still less than last month's 99kg, but still. I'm carrying about 2.5kg more than I was before. It's painful and demoralising.  I nearly vomited from shame in the gym. I couldn't figure out how I could have put on so much weight in 2 days. especially when I'd been working fairly hard on myself and my dream was getting ever closer. Now it's gone back to being a dot on the horizon. If I'm only losing 2 kg per month,  it's going to take me a year to get to where I want to be, weight wise... but... well that's still something.

I might try water tablets next month, but there're a lot of gently discouraging reviews. I could tell you how I get on with it. What do you think? I don't know who I'm asking... anyway, it's either that or I reduce the salt in my diet. I really don't see how I can, though... Advice?
