3 months and having small weight gain

Ok I am a women so I know that monthly I get some weight gain, but it seems that I am really fluctuating - about a 7 pound difference. I was down 42 and now I gained 5 so only at 38. Is this normal? I work out 3 times a week and am doing ok with the food.

How's your fluid intake? Sometimes if you aren't getting enough in your body compensates by holding on to it. Try increasing your fluid intake, and bumping your protein. It is normal to fluctuate at some points, so don't panic yet. You might want to sit down and review your intake. How many carbs, fat grams, etc and how much fluid. There may be something in your diet that you think is ok, but is actually not. Good luck! Don't give up!
