    Also - small note here, and just my experience, but the within a week to 10 days of starting to hydrate myself properly (IE - drinking A LOT of water on a daily basis), I actually dropped weight . . . I'm not sure how your "test" would explain that . . .

    This is hurting me. I want to say mean things but am trying not to.

    Do it... That was we can get a 'people are mean' thread out of OP as well...

    Better yet, get a rage quit out of OP, whoever OP is.



    OP is def a Homer Simpson...totes

    Dehydration is a lifestyle?!

    It's probably best you not be a part of any military unit. You wouldn't last more than 30 minutes without your sippy cup.



    No offense, but neither would you.

    That's the other military units . . . you know, where they don't need water because they're super concerned about the scales and need the constant validation they're losing weight, with zero concern about actual military duty . . . ;)

    He just talking. I also work with the military.

    Look op what you are doing is hurting yourself for what scale drop? Maybe for some they have to experience what it's like to know to not do it.

    BTW I know what it feels like so story time to learn from my mistake.

    I don't know what I had. I think heat exhaustion. I was very hydrated from water and Gatorade. I was vomiting and then my entire body cramp up. Everything. I was in tears but no know notice because I was also sweating. People did stop and asked if I was ok and if they should call 911. It was one of those jobs at a food stand for fourth of july

    Sounds like a bunch of Hoopla! You are losing water weight.

    I've found that a night of drinking heavily will help me get more dehydrated and gives me great scale results the next day. Unfortunately, too much beer is bad for my long term goals.

    No offense, but neither would you.

    I would not be surprised how basic training would be for OP.

    All this nonsense just to see a number on a scale that satisfies. Go ahead moderator, sock it to me. I just dont care. People need to stop the number nonsense and strive for healthy body and loss of weight that gradually comes with it.

    I still wanna know how and why he thought this was ok to do? I will say that I use to always get cramps. Usually calf cramps and sometimes bi cep cramps. It has all stop when my water intake increases.

    OP has some MASSIVE butthurt going on. Best way to get rid of that is to DRINK SOME WATER.

    I weight myself and don't get excited knowing I've lost 1 or 2 lbs because I haven't drank anything. I want the fat gone, not the water. You need that s*it.

    It was sarcasm . . . I know the body needs water to lose weight, but the original argument was to not drink water before, during or after workouts until he weighed himself to see a drop on the scale

    When I first started exercising, years ago, I exercised nearly every day; however, I weighed myself daily, just as everyone has recommended: right after getting up and using the toilet. Then, I would exercise (w/o drinking fluids) for about 1/2 hour to 1 hour and would weigh again. The difference was sweat lost--usually 1-4 lbs (~0.45 - 1.8 kg). Was it healthy? Probably, not. But, I didn't suffer any damage as a result, either. [Note: I do take in fluids when exercising more than ~60 minutes; but, only as I feel thirsty.]

    Weighing yourself daily or however often you want to is not a problem as long as you know about fluctuations and trends etc.

    Its the emphasis on deliberate dehydration just so the scales might move that is just plain dumb. Water is good for you and its importnat to be hydrated during exercise. As someone pointed out then you might not need anything during 35 mins, but if im thirsty I always drink and in fact I always drink anyway as being at the gym is an ideal to reach your daily water target.

    The Op should do himself a favour and learn about whats actually happening to his body and what you need hydration.

    If people are going to post strageies that are cobblers, then other people are going to point it out.

    I'm a vet, non-combat trade but still had my field time in. I think that thing on my hip at all times was called a canteen and I could have sworn it was for water. In fact, if you let yourself get dehydrated to the point that it impaired you ability you were ordered to drink and if you ended up having medical issues you could be charged. Not sure what OP is going on about.
