    If you're a female, you'll likely have hormonal water weight every month at some point in your cycle. I usually wait :wink:

    Reducing sodium intake, sweating through exercise, and taking diuretics are usually the biggest components in losing water weight.

    Keep in mind this is temporary weight loss and just drinking water will make you gain back water weight. You lost 7 pounds in 5 days, but keep in mind most of it was water weight (if not all of it).
