Anyone else despise the effects periods have on weight loss momentum and overall body changes?

I lost 65lbs so far, have 20 more to go to my goal weight of 165lbs. I’m a 5’10” woman.

About a week or so before my period, I notice the scale freezes. I’ve been circling around 185-187lbs for the past 10 days. I normally lose at least 1.5-2lbs per week the rest of the month. Regardless of any changes I attempted (ran more, increased my fasting window, etc), nothing moves the scale and I feel bloated as hell.

I understand it’s normal and whatnot but it’s so, so frustrating. What do y’all do in these times? Do y’all stick to the same habits or make adjustments?

Also, if it matters — I am not using any birth control, which may affect hormonal levels. (Husband had a vasectomy).

Rant over!
