Nola, it's okay I'm a jerk sometimes too and think I'm right a lot of the time (u'd think I'd stop after being proven wrong so many times).

How do you keep water weight into check? Especially for the days that I'm going to be weighing in. Yea, sometimes in the past I've not lost weight, but have seen my pants get a little looser - so somethings working.

Thanks for the advice. Ps: I know huh, excellent eye makeup!

I just don't worry about water weight. I mean, I would if I were walking the red carpet at the Oscars or something, but on a day to day basis in my not-very-glamorous life? Nah, it doesn't really bother me if I'm carrying extra fluid as long as I know what's caused it.

If it goes on for a couple of days and makes my rings tight or if I have a special occasion for which I want to look my smallest, I'll generally up my water intake, skip extra-salty stuff, and lay off my free weights for a couple of days beforehand.

Mostly I just ignore it as long as my measurements are still going down overall--and they have been, so it's all good.

Today's calorie intake 1171.. see I'm paying attention dudes. =)

We are mostly water. Seriously, most of our weight is water that we can't worry about getting rid of the water weight. Weigh once a week, know that there will be fluctuations up and down, and keep your eye on the big picture!

I hope you're getting what you need here!
