Is it normal to lose weight before period?

I don't even know if it's period related but just one week before my period, I noticed I dropped 4 pounds on the scale even though I only cut 250 calories out of my diet each day. Then during my period right now, I'm still 4 pounds lighter and didn't gain anything like I normally do. Normally I'll gain 5 or 6 pounds a few days before my period/during it.

Is this normal? I don't think it could be from just removing 250 cals a day. That would probably take three weeks or more to drop 2 pounds from just cutting 250 a day.

    On my period and days leading up to my period, no matter what I eat I never gain any weight, it's truly amazing

    Yes... Your hormones change and you start losing valuable nutrients and minerals that you need. As well as that some women get things like a fever and that could make you sweat a lot. So I dont see how losing weight BEFORE your period would be abnormal.
